Pulmonary artery systolic pressures estimated by echocardiogram vs cardiac catheterization in patients awaiting lung transplantation Background: At many lung transplant centers, right heart catheterization and transthoracic echocardiogram are part of the routine pre-transplant evaluation...

Early cardiac catheterization is associated with improved survival in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest without STEMI. Resuscitation. 2014;85(1):88-95. doi:10.1016/j.resuscitation.2013.07.027PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 20. Hochman JS, Sleeper LA, Webb JG, et al; SHOCK ...
Background The mid‐femoral head (F50) is a common fluoroscopic target for common femoral artery (CFA) puncture during cardiac catheterization. Punctures above the inguinal ligament (marking the proximal end of CFA) increase the risk of retroperitoneal hemorrhage and are classified as high punctures...
Development of "filmless" cardiac catheterization laboratories is eminent. The problems of implementing a digital catheterization laboratory involve archiving large amounts of data per procedure and high transfer rates to retrieve previous procedures. Lossy compression can ccommodate these changes, but at...
Considering that both European (4) and North American (3) guidelines underlined the ongoing controversy regarding emergency cardiac catheterization in patients without ST-segment elevation at admission, we performed, as a first sensitivity analysis, a multivariate logistic regression restricted to patients ...
