Article Synopsis
- - Central venous catheterization is crucial for patients needing quick treatment, ongoing fluid management, and monitoring; the supraclavicular (SC) and infraclavicular (IC) methods are common techniques with their own pros and cons.
- - A systematic review analyzed 1040 articles, resulting in 28 studies that focused on the success and complications of the SC technique, revealing a success rate between 79% and 100% and a complication rate averaging around 4.27%.
- - The SC approach, having a lower access time and higher success rate compared to IC, should be more frequently utilized, and further research on using ultrasound guidance for SC catheterization is recommended.
The Mehran classification is used to determine the presence of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and characterization of its subtypes in invasive coronary angiography (ICA). The utility of computed tomography angiography (CTA) for the assessment of Mehran classification is unknown. We aimed to compare the agreement and reproducibility of Mehran classification between ICA and CTA and evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of both imaging methods.
