Background: Trans-catheter closure of coronary artery fistulae (CAF) has become a successful alternative to cardiac surgery with excellent results and acceptable low rate of complications. Different techniques and devices are available to treat the extreme anatomical variability of CAF.
Aim: We retrospectively describe our case series of five patients trans-radially treated using an Amplatzer vascular plug IV (AVP-IV) with telescoping catheter technique.
Results: Trans-radial closure of CAF using the "Child in Mother" technique with dedicated catheters to deliver the vascular plugs AVP-IV was successfully performed in all patients, in one case for a complex CAF, an hybrid step approach using coils and plugs was needed.
Conclusions: Trans-radial closure of CAF using AVP-IV and a telescoping catheter appeared to be safe and feasible in our case series. A persistent closure of CAF was achieved in all patients at 2 year coronary angiography follow-up.

Preparing a good amputation stump with a well-padded, stable, sensate, and painless soft tissue coverage is of utmost importance to achieve early ambulation and return the patient to the daily activity level. When the primary closure is impossible or fails to achieve a good closure, secondary closure must be considered. To date, no literature reported the use of bilobed flaps for stump defect closure.

A recanalizing-process might decrease the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) at a late assessment postcatheterization opposed to an early assessment. In this study, we evaluated the rate of RAO at a late postcatheterization period. A retrospective case-control design was adapted including 148 patients who underwent -radial cardiac catheterization 7 to 18 months ago.

Background: Procedural anticoagulation with bivalirudin (BIV), trans-radial intervention (TRI), and use of a vascular closure device (VCD) are thought to mitigate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-related bleeding. We compared the impact of these bleeding avoidance strategies (BAS) for PCIs stratified by bleeding risk.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of PCIs from 18 facilities within one health care system from 2009Q3 to 2017Q4.
Differences of bleedings after percutaneous coronary intervention using femoral closure and radial compression devices.

Bleedings represent most relevant complications being correlated with significant rates of adverse clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). To reduce bleeding and improve prognosis various types of vascular closure devices (VCD) are frequently applied. This study aims to compare directly one specific femoral closure (FC) to one specific radial compression (RC) device in patients after PCI focusing on overall and access-site bleedings as well as major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
