Filter by:Recently, a novel distal transradial, through anatomical snuffbox, approach has been proposed for undertaking percutaneous coronary angiography and interventions. The existing literature has evaluated distal transradial access (dTRA) as a feasible and safe approach, with faster hemostasis, lower rates of periprocedural complications and reduced incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Aim of the present study is to compare dTRA versus conventional TRA access in patients with STEMI undergoing coronary angiography and interventions regarding peri- and post-procedural characteristics.
In a double-blinded randomized clinical trial, all patients undergoing coronary artery catheterization who will met our criteria, will be enrolled into three groups to receive either, vitamin e, n-acetylcysteine, or placebo. The aim of study will be to compare the superiority of vitamin e over n-acetylcysteine for the prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI).
Radial artery occlusion may occur after performance of coronary catheterization via the radial artery (transradial approach). In some cases it may be desirable to insert large (7F) catheters via the radial artery, however the impact of increased catheter size on subsequent radial artery patency is unclear. We hypothesize that radial artery occlusion following 7F catheterization is rare and occurs in < 5% of the cases.
The anticipation of pain and discomfort, a diagnosis, and other intrinsic unknowns make patients anxious both prior to and during a procedure. Therefore, the main goal of sedation with analgesia used during various diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedures is to relieve this anxiety, discomfort, and pain, which are all interrelated. The optimal level of sedation for any given patient is one that allows the patient to tolerate the procedure and provides an appropriate safety margin. This was a study designed to examine the safety and efficacy of AQUAVAN® Injection versus a commonly used approved sedative drug, midazolam HCl following pretreatment with fentanyl citrate injection (for pain relief) in producing sedation in patients undergoing single cardiac catheterization procedures.
