Distal Radial Access for Percutaneous Endovascular Repair of a Radial Artery Pseudoaneurysm

There are limited data on the association of operator volume with the outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We analyzed the association between operator volume and procedural outcomes of 7035...

Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy of Undilatable STEMI Lesion in Primary PCI

Theodoros Zografos , MD, PhD;

Apostolos Katsivas , MD, PhD;

Percutaneous pseudoaneurysm repair through the ipsilateral ulnar artery is an alternative to surgical repair; however, distal radial access, as described in this case, may offer increased safety.

Percutaneous pseudoaneurysm...
