Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided True Lumen Re-entry for Successful Recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusions
ABSTRACT: We report a strategy of intravascular ultrasound-guided selection of the true lumen entry site from the subintimal space for predictable and successful re-entry, critical to successful recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusions.…
Review of Vascular Closure Devices
ABSTRACT: Background. Vascular access-site complications are an important cause of morbidity following catheterization procedures. Manual compression is the “gold standard” in achieving hemostasis of an arteriotomy site; however, manual compression i…

Correlation Between Estimated Ejection Fraction Measured by Echocardiography with Ejection Fraction Estimated by Cardiac Catheterization in Patients Awaiting Cardiac Transplantation
Background. Ejection fraction measurement is an integral part of pre-heart transplant evaluation. In the clinical arena, the correlation and agreement between ejection fraction (EF) measured by echocardiography versus catheterization in pre-heart tra…
Vascular Closure Devices: Is the Case Closed?
Vascular hemostasis is a key issue for the successful completion of either diagnostic or interventional percutaneous endovascular procedures. Traditionally, mechanical compression, either manual or using one of the commercially available femoral comp…
