Purpose The efficiency of neuroendovascular procedures may partly depend on the time devoted to placement of a radial arterial line (RAL) for intraoperative blood pressure monitoring. An alternative ...

We proceed with carotid artery puncture for endovascular access when several of the above anatomical variants are found on the CT angiogram. Placement of the 6 F sheath too close to the clavicle might ...

Insertion of the sheath or guiding catheter from TRA necessarily ... In general, the different strategies vary according to the basic carotid artery classifications: right, bovine left and ...

Using an up-and-over technique, a 0.035-inch Storq steerable guidewire (Cordis) was advanced to the right popliteal artery. The device’s thin-walled sheath was placed over the guidewire and advanced ...

no studies have directly compared the right and left TRA for carotid artery stenting (CAS). This study aimed to evaluate the safety and technical feasibility of left TRA-CAS in comparison to right TRA ...

The strongest point of the distal radial pulse at the snuffbox was punctured with the modified Seldinger method, and the guide wire, followed by the vascular sheath, was inserted after smooth arterial ...

Since many procedurally related strokes originate from arch atheroembolization, the use of TRA may minimize catheter contact with the aortic arch, and thereby reduce stroke risk. The use of TRA in ...

Angiography showed good embolization of bilateral internal iliac arteries. Through the right femoral artery sheath, a guidewire and pigtail catheter were introduced. Initial angiography (contrast ...

Distal pulses were confirmed prior to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) intervention, and post-procedure pulses were undetectable in the left dorsalis pedis artery. Initial angiograms were obtained, and ...

To prevent systemic thromboembolism, the arterial sheaths were continuously flushed with heparinized sodium chloride (0.9% solution, 1,000 IU heparin/L). After placement of the arterial sheaths, pigs ...

What Is an Arterial Blood Gas Test (ABG)? An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood. It also measures your body’s acid-base (pH) level, which is ...
