We describe a safe and inexpensive technique of avoiding femoral access site complications. Initial fluoroscopic screening of a fully inserted local anesthetic needle helps localize the anticipated arterial puncture site. Repeating fluoroscopy after

In 50 consecutive patients subjected to coronary angioplasty immediately following a 4 French (F) diagnostic study, the technical feasibility and economical aspects of angioplasty through 4F catheters of 54 lesions were assessed. The patients were se

Coronary angioplasty has come a long way since its inception 16 years ago. Although several new devices have shown promise, none, with the exception of the stent, has significantly changed results, and the "simple" balloon remains the backbone of cor

Two young women with angiographically normal coronary arteries suffered an acute myocardial infarction. Both were found to have a patent foramen ovale (PFO), the likely pathway of a paradoxical embolus causing the infarction. The PFOs were diagnosed

Coronary stenoses associated with thrombus can lead to poor angioplasty results and increased procedural complications. Stenting in the presence of thrombus is associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis. We report eight patients in whom ha

An unusual presentation of blunt chest trauma is reported. A 21-year-old man presented with symptoms and signs of congestive cardiac failure. 2D echocardiogram showed a thickened pericardium with a mass compressing the right ventricle. CT scan reveal

A total of 110 half (disarticulated) Palmaz-Schatz coronary stents were implanted in 102 patients. Procedural success rate was 98%. Elective stenting was performed in five patients. The others received half stents for bail-out situations, including s

Stents are useful bail-out devices in coronary angioplasty. They are also used electively for situations associated with poor angioplasty results (e.g., restenotic lesions, venous grafts) and may reduce restenosis rates. However, the significant inci

The study describes the clinical findings and results of coronary balloon angioplasty in 134 patients with non-dominant left circumflex coronary artery disease. The immediate angiographic success rate was 97% versus 95% for left anterior descending (

Thrombosis at the site of coronary angioplasty is responsible for abrupt occlusion after angioplasty 1,2 . The thrombotic process may also promote the excessive myointimal proliferation that leads to restenosis 3,4 . To assess whether a thrombolytic
