Purpose: To evaluate the angiographic and functional outcomes of the Crosser chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization system used to facilitate crossing of infrainguinal occlusions resistant to conventional guidewire techniques.
Methods: Eighty-five patients with a previous or concurrent failed attempt to cross a CTO using conventional guidewire techniques were enrolled at eight United States centers. Occlusions were at least 30 days old and ≤30 cm in length.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel vascular closure device, the Angio-Seal Evolution (EVCD), in patients undergoing routine cardiac catheterization (CATH) and intervention (PCI) via a retrograde femoral artery access.
Background: Successful use of current-generation vascular closure devices is highly dependent on operator methodology. To reduce dependence on operator technique, the EVCD was modified to automate the closure process, specifically the compaction of the extravascular collagen sponge that creates a sandwich under pressure against the intra-arterial anchor.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and patterns of use of targeted renal therapy (TRT) with the Benephit system. TRT, the delivery of therapeutic agents directly to the kidneys by renal arterial infusion, has the advantage of providing a higher local effective dose with potentially greater renal effects, while limiting systemic adverse effects due to renal first-pass elimination.
Methods: The Benephit System Renal Infusion Therapy (Be-RITe!) Multicenter Registry was a post-market registry following patients treated using the Benephit systems for TRT.
