Randomized COmparison of Isolated Radial Artery ComPrEssioN Versus Radial and Ipsilateral Ulnar Artery Compression in Achieving Radial Artery Patency: The OPEN-Radial Trial

Abstract: Background. Radial artery occlusion (RAO) occurs after transradial access (TRA), limiting future ipsilateral access. Pragmatic RAO-lowering strategies need to be…

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Prasugrel for Prevention of Early Saphenous Vein Graft Thrombosis

Abstract: Objectives. To test whether administration of prasugrel after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) reduces saphenous vein graft (SVG) thrombosis. Use of aspirin after…

Comparative Intermediate-Term Outcomes of Subclavian and Transcaval Access for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
We compared the procedural efficacy and outcomes at 30 days and 1 year in patients who underwent TAVR via subclavian (or transcaval access route at a single, tertiary-care center.
Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Cardiac Transplant Patients: A Binational Analysis Derived From the United Kingdom and United States
This study aims to compare and contrast the indications, clinical and procedural characteristics, and periprocedural outcomes of patients with cardiac transplant undergoing percutaneous coronary…
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Without the Use of Contrast Medium: An Alternative Safe Implantation Technique
New transcatheter equipment and accumulated experience have stimulated further refinements in implantation techniques. We aimed to compare the outcomes of transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve…
Effect of Preloading With High Dose of Rosuvastatin on Serum Levels of Inflammatory Markers After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
We sought to assess the effects of a high loading dose of rosuvastatin (40 mg) on acute inflammatory response after coronary stenting. The primary goal was a comparison in the variation of the serum…
A Sex-Based Analysis From the RAIN-CARDIOGROUP VII Study (VeRy Thin Stents for Patients With Left MAIn or BifurcatioN in Real Life) on Left Main Stenting
There is a lack of data on clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention with ultrathin stents on unprotected left main coronary artery comparing women and men. In our study, all patients…
Predicting the Need For Permanent Pacing After Implantation of the Repositionable Lotus Transcatheter Aortic Valve
Permanent pacemaker implantation rates vary according to type of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) device, implantation technique, and patient-related factors. We analyzed the baseline…
Clinical Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusion in Native Coronary Arteries vs Saphenous Vein Grafts
There are limited data comparing outcomes of patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting presenting with stable angina who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention to either a saphenous…
