Radiation exposure and vascular access site.
We read with interest the article by Brasselet et al. comparing operator radiation exposure with different vascular access sites, namely radial vs. femoral access, during the performance of coronary angiograms or other percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). This important concern merits attention, and has been debated extensively over the last few years. As mentioned by the authors, specifi...
متن کاملEffect of Vascular Access Site Choice on Radiation Exposure During Coronary Angiography: The REVERE Trial (Randomized Evaluation of Vascular Entry Site and Radiation Exposure).
OBJECTIVES This study sought to perform a randomized noninferiority trial of radiation exposure during cardiac catheterization comparing femoral access (FA) with left radial access (LRA) and right radial access (RRA). BACKGROUND Increased radiation exposure with radial approach compared with femoral approach remains a controversial issue. METHODS This study randomized 1,493 patients undergo...
متن کاملComparison of Celox powder and conventional dressing on hemostasis of vascular access site in hemodialysis patients
Background: Common measures to stop bleeding can run the risk of clotting and thrombosis due to prolonged application of pressure. Topical homeostatic agents have an important role in decreasing time to hemostasis and consequently prevention of the complications. Aim: the aim of this study was to compare Celox powder and conventional bandage on time to hemostasis in the vascular access site i...
متن کاملEffect of combination of alcohol and Betadine on the severity of inflammation in the vascular access site in hemodialysis patients
Background: Inflammation in the vascular access site results in infection, which is the second leading cause of death in hemodialysis patients. However, there is no specific protocol available for sterilization before vascular access in such patients. Aim: to determine the effect of the combination of alcohol and Betadine on the severity of inflammation in the vascular access site in hemodialys...
متن کاملX-ray radiation and the risk of multiple sclerosis: Do the site and dose of exposure matter?
Background: The sporadic cases of radiation-activated multiple sclerosis (MS) has been previously described, with a few studies focused on the relationship between radiation and the risk of MS. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between history of X-ray radiation and MS. Methods : This case-control study was conducted on 150 individuals including 65 MS patients and 85 age-...
