Background Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is
associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than revascularization guided by …

Objectives : The aim of this study was to compare the procedural and clinical outcomes of
femoral arterial access with ultrasound (US) guidance with standard fluoroscopic guidance. …

Objectives : This study sought to assess the utility of ultrasound (US) guidance for transradial
arterial access. Background : US guidance has been demonstrated to facilitate vascular …

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients deferred
from coronary revascularization on the basis of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) or …

Obtaining femoral and radial arterial access in the cardiac catheterization laboratory using
state-of-the-art techniques is essential to optimize outcomes, patient satisfaction, and …

Since the publication of the 2009 SCAI Expert Consensus Document on Length of Stay
Following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), advances in vascular access techniques, …

Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and
an estimated 1.4 million Americans have a heart attack each year. Over the past 2 decades, …

Transradial angiography and intervention continues to become increasingly common as an
access site for coronary procedures. Since the first “Best Practices” paper in 2013, ongoing …

Background : Physicians are not always comfortable deferring treatment of a stenosis in the
left anterior descending (LAD) artery because of the perception that there is a high risk of …

Importance Invasive physiologic indices such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous
wave-free ratio (iFR) are used in clinical practice. Nevertheless, comparative prognostic …
