ABSTRACT Background Venous outflow is the favored access for endovascular management of dialysis fistulas. However, transradial access (TRA) offers advantages in specific clinical scenarios. The study aims to compare the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of TRA and transvenous access (TVA) in the endovascular management of malfunctioning dialysis ...

Steerable Delivery Sheath for Optimized LAA Closure: First Experience and Procedural Outcomes
ABSTRACT Background The new Amplatzer Steerable Delivery Sheath is a delivery system designed to improve ease‐of‐use and procedural results of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We aimed to compare procedural results after switching our LAAC program at a tertiary care center with the Amulet device to the Steerable Delivery Sheath, with a control ...

ABSTRACT Background There have been no prior reports of detailed evaluations using intravascular imaging during Jetstream treatment. Aims This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the effects of calcification characteristics and wire bias on lumen gain in Jetstream atherectomy using optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI). Methods This study enrolled
