Achmad Fauzi Yahya, MD; Miftah Pramudyo, MD; Mohammad Iqbal, MD; Hawani Sasmaya, MD; Syarief Hidayat, MD; Teguh Marfen Djajakusumah, MD; Ferdinand Kiemeneij, MD, PhD
We report a pseudoaneurysm (PSA) in a patient who underwent coronary angiography via left distal transradial access (ldTRA) 3 months previously. This is the reported case of pseudoaneurysm formation following ldTRA.

Utility of Laser Atherectomy in Complex Revascularization of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion
10/06/2019
Jon C. George, MD, MBA; Sanjog Kalra, MD; Sean Janzer, MD; Sehrish Memon, MD
We describe a case of complex proximal RI and LCX CTOs in the same patient with a high J-CTO score. Use of hybrid algorithm led to successful crossing and revascularization with the utilization of laser atherectomy and imaging guidance.

Platelet Inhibition With the P2Y12 Inhibitor Cangrelor
10/06/2019
Tom A. Lassar, MD
Think of the P2Y12 receptor as being shaped like a crown. If you drop a ball into the central part of the crown, that is the ADP site of the receptor. Clopidogrel, prasugrel, and cangrelor occupy that central site. Ticagrelor, however, is a...

The Advantages of Universal Guiding Catheters for the Transradial Approach
10/06/2019
Sandeep Nathan, MD, MSc, FACC, FSCAI
With a universal catheter, the expectation is that you will cannulate multiple vessels — often all vessels — with a single catheter, which allows for efficiencies during the procedure. More importantly, use of a universal guiding catheter...
