Transradial catheterization (TRC) has been associated with a lower incidence of major
access site related complications as compared to the transfemoral approach. With the …

Introduction: Transradial artery access (TRA) was introduced in 1989 and has been
universally used as an alternative approach to the traditional transfemoral access (TFA) …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of length and hydrophilic coating
of the introducer sheath on radial artery spasm, radial artery occlusion, and local vascular …

Object Delayed ipsilateral intraparenchymal hemorrhage has been observed following
aneurysm treatment with the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED). The relationship of this …

With the increased use of percutaneous intravascular diagnostic and therapeutic devices,
there is potential for embolization of materials introduced into the vasculature. We report …

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using a 6.5 Fr sheathless
guide catheter as a default system in transradial (TRA) percutaneous coronary intervention …

Foreign material emboli following cerebral, cardiac, and peripheral catheterizations have
been reported since the mid-1990s. Catheter coatings have been frequently implicated. The …

Over the past three decades, lubricious (hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic) polymer-coated
devices have been increasingly adopted by interventional physicians and vascular …

Cardiac catheterization via the transradial approach has increased in the United States over
the past few years; however, wide-scale adoption still lags in comparison to many …

Background Hydrophilic coatings on arterial introducer sheaths reduce the frequency of
spasm during cardiac catheterization. Moreover, during treatment of cerebral artery …
