Prospective Multicenter IDE Study of the Next-Generation Precision Aspiration Thrombectomy System for Intermediate-Risk Pulmonary Embolism: The SYMPHONY-PE Trial Open
BACKGROUND: Mechanical thrombectomy offers a promising alternative to thrombolytic-based approaches for reducing thrombus burden and right heart strain in acute pulmonary embolism. This pivotal Food and Drug Administration–approval trial e…

Institution of a formal multidisciplinary heart team for high-risk coronary revascularization Open
Establishing a multidisciplinary heart team may help with complex and high-risk patient and family scenarios and potentially improve patient outcomes. A study has been initiated to test this hypothesis formally.

OR9-3 | Endovascular Outcomes of Patients with Heart Failure Undergoing Non-Stent Infrainguinal Interventions from the XLPAD Registry Open
There are limited data comparing endovascular intervention outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients presenting with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). Herein we report comparative outcomes (peri-procedural and 1-year major adverse…

Prospective Multicenter International Registry of Ultrasound-Facilitated Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in Intermediate-High and High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism (KNOCOUT PE) Open
BACKGROUND: Prior clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) for the treatment of acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) using reduced thrombolytic doses and sho…

Impact of iodinated contrast shortage on contrast-associated acute kidney injury: a single center experience Open
The scarcity of ICM for PCI procedures in this single-center experience was associated with a significant increase in the utilization of intravascular imaging and a significant reduction in CA-AKI.

Distal Versus Proximal Radial Artery Access for Cardiac Catheterization: 30‐Day Outcomes of the DIPRA Study Open
Background Proximal radial artery (pRA) access for cardiac catheterization is safe but can jeopardize subsequent use of the artery because of occlusion. Distal radial artery (dRA) access in the anatomical snuffbox preserves the radial arte…

IMPACT OF IODINATED CONTRAST SHORTAGE ON CONTRAST-ASSOCIATED ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY: A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE Open
Therapeutic Area: Kidney Disease Background: In March 2022 China imposed strict lockdown measures to contain a COVID-19 outbreak which disrupted the global supply chains of iodine contrast media (ICM). Healthcare systems implemented contra…

Comparative Outcomes of Interventions for Femoropopliteal Chronic Total Occlusion Versus Non–Chronic Total Occlusion Lesions From the Multicenter XLPAD Registry Open
Background Endovascular intervention of femoropopliteal chronic total occlusions (CTOs) is technically more complex. However, there is lack of comparative analysis between CTO and non‐CTO femoropopliteal interventions. Methods and Results …

LB-2 | Distal versus Proximal Radial Artery Access for Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention: 1-Year Results of The DIPRA study Open
Proximal radial artery (PRA) access for cardiac catheterization is safe but can jeopardize subsequent artery use due to occlusion. Distal radial artery (DRA) access in the anatomical snuffbox potentially preserves the RA, with good short-t…

C-25 | Radial and Ulnar Artery Access for Peripheral Vascular Intervention: A Single Center Experience Open
Radial artery access has been increasingly utilized for coronary procedures due to lower rates of access complications, improved patient satisfaction, and shorter length of hospital stay. However, limited data are available for peripheral …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for large pulmonary emboli Open
Massive and submassive pulmonary emboli (PE) are increasingly being treated with percutaneous lytic and embolectomy procedures. While these procedures are overwhelmingly safe, patients with significant right ventricular strain are at risk …

LB-2 | Distal versus Proximal Radial Artery Access for Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention: 30-day Outcomes of The DIPRA Study Open
BackgroundProximal radial artery (PRA) access for cardiac catheterization has been shown to be safe and with a mortality benefit compared to femoral access.However, it can jeopardize subsequent use of the artery due to occlusion. Distal ra…

The Vici venous stent for treatment of renal vein entrapment Open
The nutcracker syndrome results from compression of the left renal vein between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. We present the first reported case of symptomatic left renal vein compression treated with balloon angioplasty an…
