Intravenous Protamine Sulfate Shortens Compression Time After Coronary Angiography via Distal Transradial Access

Intravenous Protamine SulfateAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  With distal transradial access (dTRA), the postoperative compression time remains significantly longer than the recommended range via in practice. This study investigates whether intravenous protamine sulfate might shorten the postoperative compression time and increase safety after coronary angiography via dTRA.

In this retrospective study, patients who underwent coronary angiography were enrolled and divided into two groups. The study group received a slow intravenous injection of 15–20 mg protamine sulfate before sheath retraction. The primary endpoint was the puncture compression time after coronary angiography.

Adverse Outcomes in Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Cluster Analysis Study

Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary SyndromeAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) have diverse clinical trajectories and form a heterogeneous group. They exhibit differences in clinical and angiographic findings, laboratory parameters including platelet function, and the severity of concomitant pathology. These variations affect their clinical courses and prognosis. (more…)

Angiography-Based Computational Modeling for In Vivo Assessment of Endothelial Dynamic Strain in Coronary Arteries with De Novo Lesions: Comparison of Treatment Effects of Drug-Coated Balloons Between Small and Large Arteries

Angiography-Based Computational ModelingAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Acute morphological changes in de novo coronary lesions after drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty can affect endothelial mechanics and consequently clinical outcomes.

Angiography-based computational modeling has been validated to assess endothelial dynamic strain (EDS) in coronary arteries in vivo. The EDS was calculated on the basis of pre- and post-DCB angiography. Parameters of quantitative coronary angiography and EDS were quantified at cross-sections in the treated segments. A total of 336 and 348 lesion cross-sections were included in the small/large vessel groups, respectively. (more…)
