Outcomes of European Society of Cardiology 0/1-h algorithm with high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T among patients with coronary artery disease.

Objective: The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 0/1-h Algorithm with high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) has shown promising results in risk stratification and management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, its outcomes and clinical implications in the context of developing countries remain understudied.

Methods: This cohort study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and clinical significance of the ESC 0/1-h Algorithm in a developing country setting.

Outcomes of a Modified Technique for Deflation of Distal Radial Artery Occlusion Device on Radial Artery Patency After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Objective: This study aimed to compare two protocols of deflation with increased intervals versus late deflation with smaller intervals for distal radial artery occlusion device (DROAD) removal to assess for radial artery occlusion (RAO).

Methods: All patients who underwent PCI with distal radial access were enrolled in the study. The DROAD was applied using an occlusive hemostasis method.

Radial artery patency outcomes with saline flushing of the radial sheath after coronary intervention: A prospective cohort study.

Objective: The implications of saline flushing of the radial sheath have not been studied in terms of radial artery occlusion. We aimed to investigate radial artery patency outcomes after the saline flush of the radial sheath.

Methods: In this prospective observational study, patients were selected to receive either radial sheath flushing with 10 mL of saline after pulling the sheath to one-third of its length (Group 1) or standard care (Group 2) after removal of the catheter sheath as per physician discretion.
