Diagnosing coronary heart disease has been accomplished since the 1960s by coronary angiography. During the process, involving guiding a catheter tube through the body to the heart, contrast dye is ...
In experienced hands, hybrid radial-pedal access techniques represent a practical alternative to femoral access for selected ...
Radial artery access for diagnostic coronary angiography and PCI as an alternative to femoral artery access has been used internationally for 2 decades and may be gaining momentum in the United States ...
For decades, doctors have used a single method for cardiac catheterizations: they enter the body through the femoral artery, at the groin, then examine the heart. Of late, a new method for performing ...
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 ...
Quality of life (QoL) after cardiac catheterization is similar for women whether the procedure is done via radial or femoral access, according to a substudy of the SAFE-PCI for Women trial published ...
Heart catheterization, a procedure to detect and clear clogged arteries, traditionally involves inserting a plastic tube through a groin incision into the femoral artery. But a new study shows fewer ...

More than a million times a year, an interventional cardiologist snakes a narrow tube inside a patient's heart to examine its chambers and blood vessels. The minimally invasive procedure, used to ...
BATESVILLE — White River Medical Center cardiologists Qaisar Khan and Richard Van Grouw of Batesville Cardiology now offer radial cardiac catheterization at WRMC. An innovative approach to cardiac ...
An aborted operation in La Jolla shows the true strength of an increasingly popular way to open blocked blood vessels. A Scripps Health cardiac team had planned to use a stent to clear a narrowed ...
