PCI versus CABG in coronary artery disease
Vascul Pharmacol. 2024 Mar 18:107367. doi: 10.1016/j.vph.2024.107367. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe evidence basis for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in coronary artery disease (CAD) has become more firmly established over the last decade in view of new evidence from several large, randomized trials and propensity-matched registries. In comparison to PCI, CABG offers substantial survival benefits and significant reductions in myocardial infarction and need for repeat revascularization in multivessel disease in patients with intermediate and high severity disease, whe...

Seven-year follow-up of endovascular treatment of iatrogenic brachioradial artery injury complicating percutaneous coronary intervention: a case report
Nagoya J Med Sci. 2024 Feb;86(1):155-159. doi: 10.18999/nagjms.86.1.155.ABSTRACTThe radial artery has been used increasingly for percutaneous coronary intervention because of its safety and feasible access route. Nevertheless, transradial complications are possible because of the variation in radial artery anatomy. We experienced a case of the brachioradial artery injury secondary to catheterization, presenting as hypovolemic shock. A 76-year-old woman presented at our emergency department complaining of effort-induced angina. Coronary angiography via the right radial artery showed critical stenosis in the middle of the le...
