We investigated whether a newly designed strategy of immediate transradial intervention using one sheathless hydrophilic-coated guiding catheter after diagnostic coronary angiography with one 4.0 Fr sheath via a single access site (the...

Coronary artery anomalies are relatively rare (~1% on CTA). We present two exceedingly rare cases, as well as the first reported case of anomalous retro-aortic coronary arteries diagnosed with cardiac CTA and angiography.

This case of a 56-year-old woman with normal coronaries displays the side-to-side motion of the unengaged catheter followed by the rhythmic up-and-down, piston-like movements of the catheter tip after engagement.

This image shows an impressive “honeycomb” pattern of neoatherosclerosis in the context of very late in-stent restenosis. In this case, OCT excluded the most common mechanisms of late in-stent restenosis, underlying the complexity of this...

We aimed to define the frequency of anatomic variants and success rates during transradial access for PCI. These data provide reassurance for would-be radial converts that the learning curve may not be as steep as envisaged.
