Prospective evaluation of efficacy and safety of distal radial and radial artery access using a novel articulating-tip guidewire.

Background: Guidewire-facilitated access to peripheral vessels is commonplace in vascular access, but guidewire insertion into small vessels, such as the radial and distal radial arteries, can still be challenging. Failure to gain access on the first attempt may contribute to increased risks of procedural complications, such as vessel dissection, spasm, and occlusion. This research assessed the safety and efficacy of radial and distal radial artery access using a novel, FDA-cleared, small-core-diameter guidewire with an articulating tip, under ultrasound guidance.

The Aortic Team Model and Collaborative Decision Pathways for the Management of Complex Aortic Disease: Clinical Practice Update From the Canadian Cardiovascular Society/Canadian Society of Cardiac Surgeons/Canadian Society for Vascular Surgery/Canadian Association for Interventional Radiology.

Disease of the aortic arch, descending thoracic, or thoracoabdominal aorta necessitates dedicated expertise across medical, endovascular, and surgical specialties. Cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and others have expertise and skills that aid in the management of patients with complex aortic disease. No specialty is uniformly expert in all aspects of required care.

Optical Accuracy Assessment of Robotically Assisted Dental Implant Surgery for Partially Edentulous Patients: A Single-Arm Clinical Trial.

Purpose: To quantify the clinical accuracy of a robotically assisted implant guidance system in partially edentulous patients without the use of postoperative CBCT.

Materials And Methods: A total of 10 implants (7 patients) were placed in partially edentulous patients utilizing a robotically assisted implant guidance system. Following the implant placement, an intraoral scan was performed to register the implant position after attaching a scan body.
