Clinical Relevance of Baseline TCP in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
09/30/2017
The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of baseline thrombocytopenia (TCP) on short-term and long-term outcomes after TAVR. This study on 732 consecutive patients indicated that baseline TCP is a strong predictor of mortality.

Comparison of Hemostasis Times With a Kaolin-Based Hemostatic Pad (QuikClot Radial) vs Mechanical Compression (TR Band) Following Transradial Access: A Pilot Prospective Study
08/15/2017
Hemostasis following transradial access (TRA) is usually achieved by mechanical compression. We investigated use of the QuikClot Radial hemostasis pad compared with the TR Band to shorten hemostasis after TRA.
