Prospective Comparison of Palpation Versus Ultrasound-Guided Radial Access for Cardiac Catheterization
09/27/2013
Prospective data comparing ultrasound- versus palpation-guided radial catheterization are largely lacking. This study of 183 patients indicates that ultrasound-guided radial access seems to provide no substantial additional benefit over...

A Case of Contrast-Induced Pancreatitis Following Cardiac Catheterization
09/27/2013
Radiographic contrast agents (RCAs) are known to cause acute kidney injury. RCAs are also postulated to induce pancreatitis in experimental animal models. We present a patient with acute pancreatitis immediately following coronary angiography.
