Clinical factors associated with physician choice of femoral versus radial access: A real ‐world experience from a single academic center
ConclusionSTEMI or emergent cases and elderly patients favor upfront femoral access. As BMI increases and age decreases, radial access is progressively favored. In diagnostic cases, radial access appears to be superior to femoral access in efficacy, but the distinction is less obvious in PCI and STEMI or emergent cases.

The effect of establishing pre ‐angiography thresholds on contrast utilization
ConclusionAcknowledgement of contrast threshold as part of a contrast “Time‐Out” is associated with reduced overall contrast utilization, and likely minimizes risks of contrast‐induced nephropathy. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiology)

The impact of unfractionated heparin or bivalirudin on patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionsAmong patients with stable angina or silent ischemia, there was no difference between UFH and bivalirudin in bleeding rates up to 30‐days post‐PCI. MACCE and NACE were higher among the bivalirudin group. Radial access was associated with a numerically lower rate of bleeding compared with femoral access.

Pre ‐close technique of percutaneous closure for delayed hemostasis of large‐bore femoral sheaths
Advancement of coronary interventions and portable hemodynamic device requires placement of large bore sheaths. Access for large caliber sheaths, its placement, maintenance, and hemostasis is very challenging and one of the key ailments for successful procedures. Traditional hemostasis method is manual compression, which is unattractive due to its own limitations and subsequent complications. Single closure device for sheath size larger than 8 French (Fr) is not available. We performed retrospective analysis of large cohort of patients with 13, 14 Fr sheaths (Impella device [ABIOMED]) percutaneous closure with the use of t...

Ultrasound guidance versus anatomical landmark approach for femoral artery access in coronary angiography: A randomized controlled trial and a meta ‐analysis
ConclusionOur study did not show significant benefits for the use of US to guide arterial femoral access compared to the anatomical landmark approach, but pooled analysis of five randomized trials showed decreased rates of bleeding events and venipunctures, and improved first‐pass success. The clinical impact of these findings is uncertain, and do not warrant a systematic use of US‐guidance in this clinical setting. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiology)
