BOSTON -- Routine ultrasound guidance for accessing the femoral vein for percutaneous coronary procedures didn't cut down on bleeding and vascular complications, the UNIVERSAL trial showed. The ...

BOSTON, MA—Ultrasound guidance for femoral access does not appear to reduce bleeding or vascular complications but does reduce the risk of venipuncture and lowers the number of arterial puncture ...

For patients undergoing coronary procedures via transfemoral access, ultrasound guidance decreases the combined outcome of major vascular complications or bleeding and is particularly valuable when ...

In 2016, the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) issued a policy statement advocating a new safety goal for vascular access: the “one-stick standard.” To help clinicians achieve it, ACEP ...

CARDIFF, WALES — Although the femoral artery remains a common access point for chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, it's associated with increased risk of access-site complications like bleeding but ...

Many procedures in minipigs require establishment of reliable deep venous access with a large-bore catheter. In animal experiments, such catheters are typically implanted surgically. In clinical ...

Cardiac catheterization begins with arterial access and ends with access-site closure, both of which are fundamental to the safe performance of diagnostic and interventional procedures The preferred ...

The SAVES method is an effective and safe approach for ultrasound-guided infraclavicular axillary/subclavian vein cannulation. Cannulation is a procedure of inserting a flexible tube (catheter) into ...

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are inserted for a number of reasons including haemodynamic monitoring, intravenous delivery of blood products and drugs (for example, chemotherapy and antibiotics), ...

A resorbable collagen plug venous closure device got patients on their feet faster than did manual compression alone after a catheter-based electrophysiology procedure, according to the AMBULATE trial ...
