Although high body mass index (BMI) is a known risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, people who are overweight or obese often have better outcomes after cardiac procedures. Whether this "obesity paradox" is observed in...

Data regarding the prevalence of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are scarce. Whether CAS, especially severe or bilateral, is a predictor of worse prognosis after TAVI is...

Palpation-guided access of the radial artery (RA) has transradial access (TRA) failure rates averaging 6%-7%. This study aimed to measure RA and ulnar artery (UA) diameters by ultrasound in a typical American population, in hopes of...

This case of a 72-year-old gentleman presenting with angina and moderate stenosis demonstrates the ability to image a target vessel non-invasively and revascularize percutaneously or surgically with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds.

The different design is thought to increase back pressure, redistributing blood flow more fully through small vessels in the heart that were not working at capacity.
