Comparison of Transradial and Transfemoral Access for Coronary Bypass Graft Angiography
Journal Title: Annals of Circulation - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Transradial access has been shown to be safe and effective in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and even being beneficial in regards to vascular complications and perceived quality of life after the intervention. However, data is limited in patients having previously undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) where procedural complexity can be increased. Methods: Studies comparing transradial and transfemoral access for PCI in patients having undergone CABG were identified. Data for similar endpoints was extracted for subsequent meta-analysis. Bias and heterogeneity were also assessed.

Vasodilatory Effect of the Dissolved Glycine locally applied on Pial Microvessels
By the method of biomicroscopy it was shown that a single application of a dissolved glycine on the parietal region of the rat brain (“open window” technique) leads to a vasodilatation - an increase in arteriolar diamete...
Is There an Upper Limit to Cardiopulmonary Bypass Times?
Background: There are no safe operations in cardiac surgery. Every operation can possibly go wrong. We therefore retrospectively evaluated all cardiac operations lasting more than 300 minutes of bypass time at our instit...
