Percutaneous revascularisation has become the cornerstone of ischaemic heart disease management.1,2 Historically, coronary angiography and intervention was predominantly performed via the common femoral artery.3 However, this procedure has an associated 1.5–9.0 % risk of complications, most of which are related to bleeding at the femoral access site.4 Despite a significant reduction in the… View more

The first renal artery balloon angioplasties were performed by Felix Mahler in Berne and Andreas Grüntzig in Zurich in 1977 using self-made, bulky, coaxial balloon catheters.1,2 Until the beginning of the 1990s, balloon angioplasty was the only method of percutaneous treatment of renal artery stenosis (RAS) with satisfying acute and long-term results for angioplasty of stenoses caused by… View more

Definition and Prevalence Nowadays it is widely accepted to define chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the coronary artery as lesions with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 0 flow for more than three months (either angiographically proven or with high clinical likelihood).1 Occlusions of less than four weeks following an acute infarction are defined as acute or subacute and occlusions of… View more

The transradial approach (TRA) was introduced for the first time in 1989.1 Used at first by Campeau for coronary angiography, the TRA was later applied by Kiemeneij et al. for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).2 The radial artery has proven to be a challenging but safe route towards the coronary arteries. According to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, the radial artery… View more
