Association of the long fluoroscopy time with factors in contemporary primary percutaneous coronary interventions.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BACKGROUND:Since the long fluoroscopy time in primary PCI for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) could be an indicator of delayed reperfusion, it should be important to recognize which types of lesions require longer fluoroscopy-time in ...

Cone-Beam CT With Augmented Fluoroscopy Combined With Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy for Biopsy of Pulmonary Nodules

Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2018
Background: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) has been widely adopted as a guidance technique for biopsy of peripheral lung nodules. However, ENB is limited by the lack of real-time confirmation of the biopsy devices.
