Carotid Artery Stenting Using Five-French Distal Radial Vascular Access

Diagnostics, 2023
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is usually performed through a femoral vascular access using 6–9 Fr guiding catheters. We investigated whether a systematic distal radial approach using 5 Fr guiding sheaths was a safe and effective alternative to ...

Radial access for percutaneous coronary procedure: relationship between operator expertise and complications [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine, 2018
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate (1) whether the learning curve of new catheterization laboratory operators increases the incidence of complications of transradial access during percutaneous coronary interventions and (2) whether manual

Thrombotic vs. Bleeding Events of Interruption of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy within 12 Months among Patients with Stent-Driven High Ischemic Risk Definition following PCI

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 2022
Background. There is a paucity of real-world data regarding the clinical impact of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) interruption (temporary or permanent) among patients at high ischemic risk. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of cardiovascular

Integrative transcriptomic, proteomic, and machine learning approach to identifying feature genes of atrial fibrillation using atrial samples from patients with valvular heart disease

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with poorly understood mechanisms. We aimed to investigate the biological mechanism of AF and to discover feature genes by analyzing multi-omics data and by applying a machine learning ...

Metformin improves lipid metabolism and reverses the Warburg effect in a canine model of chronic atrial fibrillation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Previous studies demonstrated impaired lipid metabolism and augmented aerobic glycolysis in AF. The authors aimed to investigate whether the use of metformin, an AMPK activator, could reverse this metabolic remodeling in chronic AF and to ...

Type1 and 3 fimbriae phenotype and genotype as suitable markers for uropathogenic bacterial pathogenesis via attachment, cell surface hydrophobicity, and biofilm formation in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2021
Objective(s): Catheters are one of the factors for complicated urinary tract infections. Uropathogenic bacteria can attach to the catheter via cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH), form biofilms, and remain in urinary tract.

Metformin regulates lipid metabolism in a canine model of atrial fibrillation through AMPK/PPAR-α/VLCAD pathway

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2019
Background Atrial lipid metabolic remodeling is critical for the process of atrial fibrillation (AF). Abnormal Fatty acid (FA) metabolism in cardiomyocytes is involved in the pathogenesis of AF.

The Comaneci Device for Entering an Acute-Angled Small Feeder during Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation Embolization: A Novel Technique to Support Microcatheterization [PDF]

Neurointervention, 2020
In this report, we describe the use of the Comaneci device to support microcatheterization in a small branch arising from a parent artery during embolization. In 2 cases, arteriovenous malformations presented with intracranial hemorrhage. A microcatheter

Coronary artery anomalies and their clinical relevance

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2015
Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) represent one of the most confusing topic in cardiology and affect approximately 1% of the general population. Altough some anomalies seem to be only anatomical curiosities, others may sometimes have fatal consequences ...
