Access to the arterial circulation and full anticoagulation carries a risk of serious bleeding during and after percutaneous coronary intervention. Important sources of bleeding include the arterial a...
The aim of the study was to determine the variables associated with high-quality (HQ) versus low-quality (LQ) three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) and create guides for optimization of appr...
Early postoperative catheterizations (EPOCs) within 6 weeks after a congenital heart surgical procedure can treat residual lesions and provide important clinical information. However, EPOCs are often ...
In a retrospective cohort, demographic, clinical, and procedural characteristics were analyzed for diagnostic and interventional catheterizations performed in 13 participating institutions from Januar...
This study included 17,776 catheterizations, with 1399 EPOCs. The high-severity AE rate was 6.4% overall, 8.9% in the EPOC cohort, and 8.4% in matched controls (P = .74). The association between EPOC ...
EPOC was not associated with additional risk. Individual patient characteristics of size and hemodynamic vulnerability may serve as informative predictors. Timely catheterization may preempt further c...
To identify angiographic predictors of aberrant left circumflex artery (LCx) by comparing left main (LM) length and bifurcation angle between patients with aberrant LCx and normal anatomy....
Failure to recognize aberrant LCx during a cardiac catheterization may hamper correct diagnosis, delay intervention in acute coronary syndromes, and result in increased contrast volume, radiation expo...
We retrospectively analyzed angiograms of aberrant LCx patients and normal anatomy matched controls, in three-participating centers. LM-length, bifurcation angle between the left anterior descending (...
Between 2003 and 2020, 136 patients with aberrant LCx and 135 controls were identified. More catheters (2.4 ± 0.6 vs. 2.2 ± 0.9, p = 0.009), larger contrast volumes (169 ± 94 ml vs. 129 ± 68 ml, p < 0...
Our study suggests that a long LM-length and an acute bifurcation angle can indicate the presence of aberrant LCx. We present a practical algorithm for its rapid identification....
The role of emergent cardiac catheterization after resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has evolved based on recent randomized evidence. This review aims to discuss the latest evidence a...
In contrast to previous observational data, recent RCTs evaluating early CAG in resuscitated OHCA patients without ST elevation have uniformly demonstrated a lack of benefit in terms of survival or ne...
Mixed reality head-mounted displays (MR-HMD) are a novel and emerging tool in healthcare. There is a paucity of data on the safety and efficacy of the use of MR-HMD in the cardiac catheterization labo...
This is a non-randomized trial that included patients who underwent RHC and CA with MR-HMD between August 2019 and January 2020. Their outcomes were compared to a control group during the same time pe...
50 patients were enrolled in the trial, 33 had a RHC done, and 29 had a diagnostic CA performed. They were compared to 232 patients in the control group. The use of MR-HMD was associated with a signif...
MR-HMD use is safe and feasible and may decrease procedure time in the CCL....
As numbers and complexity of percutaneous coronary interventions are constantly increasing, optimal radiation protection is required to ensure operator safety. Suspended radiation protection systems (...
A total of 229 cardiac catheterization procedures with SRPS (N = 73), PAD (N = 82) and standard radiation protection (N = 74) were prospectively included. Real-time dosimeter data were collected from ...
For the first operator, the SRPS and the PAD significantly decreased the overall SOE compared to conventional shielding by 93.9% and 66.4%, respectively (P < 0.001). The protective effect of the SRPS ...
The SRPS and the PAD enhance radiation protection significantly compared to conventional protection. In most clinical scenarios, the protective effect of SRPS is significantly higher than the addition...
Safety and acute outcomes for patients who need catheterization shortly after congenital cardiac surgery has been established; literature on mid-term outcomes is lacking. We sought to evaluate the mid...
It has been suggested that anesthesiologists with subspecialty expertise in pediatric cardiac anesthesia are best qualified to care for patients with complex congenital cardiac anomalies and manage th...
Data were collected on each anesthetic in the pediatric cardiac catheterization lab from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019. A generalized linear mixed effect model was used to identify associations...
A total of 3,761 procedures involving 1,729 patients were included in the study. There was no significant difference between noncardiac and cardiac anesthesia attendings for overall adverse events (od...
In our analysis, the incidence of adverse events in the pediatric cardiac catheterization lab during the study period was not statistically different, whether anesthesia care was provided by a cardiac...
Data on the frequency and outcome of surgical interventions as a result of adverse events (AE) encountered in the pediatric and congenital cardiac catheterization laboratory are limited. This study an...
