Transfemoral pulmonary angiography: update on technique [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1981
Over the past several years increasing emphasis has been placed on selective pulmonary angiography as the ‘ ‘ gold standard’ ‘ in the diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism [1]. Angiography is now recommended when diagnosis is uncertain, especially since long-term anticoagulation and surgical intervention have significant risks [1 , 2].

Effects of adjustable‐volume transfemoral prosthetic sockets on balance and falls: A randomized clinical trial

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adjustable‐volume prosthetic sockets have been developed to allow users to accommodate volume fluctuations throughout the day. Improvement in socket fit is thought to enhance the connection between the user's residual limb and prosthesis and may therefore improve postural control and balance.

Biomechanical Impacts of Toe Joint With Transfemoral Amputee Using a Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2022
Transfemoral amputees are currently forced to utilize energetically passive prostheses that provide little to no propulsive work. Among the several joints and muscles required for healthy walking, the ones most vital for push-off assistance include the ...

A Rare Access Site Complication after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2019
In the majority of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation, the transfemoral access is the suggested approach due to its less invasive nature and feasibility in patients with suitable vascular anatomy.

Sleep‐disordered breathing in valvular heart disease: A Modifiable comorbidity

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) is highly prevalent among patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) and is independently associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The two major phenotypes—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA)—exhibit distinct distributions across VHD subtypes. CSA predominates in severe aortic stenosis,

Internal Endoconduit Technique during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

The Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeon Reports, 2019
The transfemoral approach is the least invasive transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) approach, but the diameter of the iliofemoral arteries needs to exceed 5 mm.

Jugular Versus Femoral Venous Access for Leadless Pacemaker Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemakers (LPMs) have been shown to reduce complications compared with conventional transvenous pacing. Transfemoral venous access (FA) is the standard implantation approach; however, the transjugular approach (JA) has recently emerged as an alternative strategy, but comparative evidence remains limited.
