CARDIFF, WALES — Although the femoral artery remains a common access point for chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, it's associated with increased risk of access-site complications like bleeding but ...

NEW ORLEANS, LA—Operators performing PCI via the femoral artery can rest assured that the procedure causes no more harm than primary PCI performed via the radial artery, according to the results of a ...

Treating chronic total occlusions (CTOs), complex bifurcations, heavily calcified lesions, and left main coronary artery disease with large-bore catheters via the radial artery is associated with ...

HOUSTON -- Subclavian access for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) cases in which the femoral artery isn't suitable was at least as safe as conventional transfemoral procedures, analysis ...

April 5, 2011 (New Orleans, Louisiana) — A head-to-head comparison of radial vs femoral access for the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has shown that treatment via the radial ...

(HealthDay News) — For patients with acute coronary syndrome managed with invasive procedures, radial artery access reduces mortality, major coronary adverse events, and major bleeding compared to ...

As the evidence grows for the superiority of radial access over femoral access with regard to reducing bleeding events and improving clinical outcomes, the authors discuss the modern approach to ...

Alternative access such as transpedal and tibial access is important in the practice of vascular intervention today. For example, in long chronic total occlusions, the first access we usually try is ...
