Comparison of Radial Artery Compression Techniques in Contemporary Cardiovascular Practice: The RAVE Trial Open
Background: The shorter time to hemostasis in patients who undergo transradial cardiac catheterization may reduce the complications, cause less pain, facilitate early discharge, and improve patient satisfaction. Objective: This trial aimed…

Challenge in mitral valve intervention: Super‐elongated anterior and diminutive posterior mitral valve Open
Diminutive posterior mitral valve leaflet with an extremely elongated anterior leaflet is a rare phenomenon. We share such a case discovered in an 82-year-old patient with severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation. LA, left atrium; LV, left…

A-38 | Long Term Patency Rates of Covered, Balloon Expandable and Self Expanding Stents in Aortoiliac Artery Disease: Analysis of a National Database Open
BackgroundThe iliac arteries are a common site of obstructive atherosclerosis and account for nearly one-third of all symptomatic peripheral artery disease. Endovascular intervention with stenting is currently the preferred method of revas…

Prevalence and association of iron deficiency with anemia among patients with heart failure in the USA: NHANES 2017-2018 Open
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major debilitating disease. HF patients with iron deficiency(ID) have poorer outcomes and treatment significantly improves outcomes. We set out to update the national prevalence of ID in the USA and its …
