Anatomic variations of the radial artery and their effect on the use of the radial artery as a route for transradial coronary intervention (TRI) were studied. Ultrasonography of the radial artery was performed prospectively in 115 patients selected to undergo elective TRI. Anatomic variations were observed in 11 of 115 patients (9.6%). Variations included six tortuous configurations (5. 2%), tw...

Background—Despite worse outcomes in diabetics after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, studies have not examined graft patency in this high-risk group. This study examined the impact of diabetes on graft patency, 1-year postcoronary artery bypass grafting, using data from a multicenter randomized trial. Methods and Results—The Radial Artery Patency Study enrolled 561 patients undergoing ...

The radial artery is a commonly used conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting. Long-term patency rates are at least as good and in some series are better than for saphenous vein grafts (1,2). owever, radial artery graft failure remains a ignificant problem (3), in particular in cases here radial conduits are used on smaller target essels or where there is significant competitive ow from a na...

Abstract The renal arteries arise from the lateral side of abdominal aorta at L2 vertebral level, just below origin superior mesenteric artery. Multiple aberrant can pose difficulties in transplantation, interventional radiological and urological procedures, artery embolization, angioplasty, or vascular reconstruction for congenital acquired lesions. We present a case left kidney supplied by al...

A 73-year-old female patient underwent transradial coronary angiography with stable angina and signs of significant myocardial ischemia revealed by exercise stress test. After insertion of a 6F radial sheath into the right radial artery and intra-arterial administration of heparin plus verapamil, the hydrophilic guidewire could not be advanced under fluoroscopic guidance. Immediately afterwards...

A 42-year-old male admitted with a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction was referred for invasive angiographic assessment. Based on preprocedural assessment, the right radial artery approach was selected. Despite possessing none of the consensus risk factors for radial artery spasm, in addition to receiving standard arterial spasm prophylaxis and conscious sedation, the patient suffered very ...

Arterial variations in the arm are of potential clinical implications as it is a frequent site of injury and also involved in many surgical and invasive procedures. Variations in the vascular system of upper limbs are relatively common, and occur at the level of the axillary, brachial, radial, and ulnar arteries as well as in the palmar arches. During a dissection of the right upper extremity, ...

Objective: This research aimed to characterize the clinical presentation, frequency, and distribution of CAAs in people experiencing angiography. In this study, we reviewed presence 4072 patients. Study design: Cross-section study Setting: Current was conducted at Department interventional cardiology, MTI- Hayat Abad Medical Complex, Peshawar from Ist July 2021 30th June 2022. Methods: The curr...
