Sheathless Guide Catheters During Transradial PCI

S heathless technology has been part of transradial procedures since the 1940s, when Sig Radner first performed transradial catheterization via radial cutdowns. Migration to femoral vascular access by the modified Seldinger approach using sheaths eclipsed the sheathless approach, which subsequently became lost in the fog of history. The transradial era reinvigorated the need for equipment optim...

I Prefer Imaging-Guided PCI

Coronary angiography is routinely employed to guide decision making in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). However, its luminological limitations are well known. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a well-established intravascular imaging tool that not only assesses the severity of luminal stenosis but also can provide an accurate description of plaque morphology and c...

Thrombotic complication during intracoronary imaging

Intracoronary imaging with intracoronary ultrasound and coherence tomography is often used in the follow-up of coronary stent implantation. The present case shows an infrequent complication of these procedures, suggesting our continued attention to the selective use of these invasive procedures.

PCI Interrupt Controller for Industry Standard PCI-ISA Bus Architecture using PCI-to-PCI Bridge Technology

The demand for more Peripheral Computer Interconnect (PCI) device configurations beyond the limit set in the PCI local bus specification has prompted the development of several PCI-PCI bridge solutions. This paper describes a new PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG) PCI-ISA bus architecture implementation using Digital Equipment Corporation PCI-PCI bridge technology. Layered PCI ...
