Distal Versus Conventional Radial Access for Coronary Angiography and Intervention: The DISCO RADIAL Trial. (2022)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Currently, transradial access (TRA) is the recommended access for coronary procedures because of increased safety, with radial artery occlusion (RAO) being its most frequent complication, which will increasingly affect patients undergoing...

Mode of presentation and mortality amongst patients hospitalized with heart failure?: a report from The First Euro Heart Failure Survey (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Heart failure is heterogeneous in aetiology, pathophysiology and presentation. Despite this diversity, clinical trials of patients hospitalized for HF deal with this problem as a single entity, which may be one reason for repeated failur...

Outcomes Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (2018)
Journal Article

Background: There are limited data on outcomes of patients with previous CABG presenting with NSTEMI undergoing PCI. We compare clinical characteristics and outcomes in NSTEMI patients undergoing PCI with or without prior CABG surgery in a national c... Read More about Outcomes Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts.

Health economic analysis of access site practice in England during changes in practice: Insights from the British Cardiovascular Interventional Society (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Transradial access (TRA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with a reduced risk of mortality compared with transfemoral access, access site–related bleeding complications, and shorter length of stay. The budget imp... Read More about Health economic analysis of access site practice in England during changes in practice: Insights from the British Cardiovascular Interventional Society.

Accelerated patent haemostasis using a procoagulant disk: a protocol designed to minimise the risk of radial artery occlusion following cardiac catheterisation (2018)
Journal Article

Purpose Radial artery occlusion flowing cardiac catheterisation has been linked to flow reduction and prolonged compression. We investigate whether these factors can be optimised following transradial cardiac catheterisation by using an accelerated...

Burden of 30-day readmissions after PCI in 824,747 patients in the USA: predictors, causes and cost. Insights from the Nationwide Readmission Database (2018)
Journal Article

Objectives This study aimed to examine the 30-day unplanned readmissions rate, predictors of readmission, causes of readmissions, and clinical impact of readmissions after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background Unplanned rehospital... Read More about Burden of 30-day readmissions after PCI in 824,747 patients in the USA: predictors, causes and cost. Insights from the Nationwide Readmission Database.

Vascular access site and outcomes in 58,870 patients undergoing PCI with a previous history of coronary bypass surgery: results from the British Cardiovascular Interventions Society National database (2018)
Journal Article

Objectives Using the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) database, access site choice and outcomes of patients undergoing PCI with previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were studied. Back...

The effect of pre-procedure sublingual nitroglycerin on radial artery diameter and Allen’s test outcome - relevance to transradial catheterization (2018)
Journal Article

Background The radial artery is increasingly used for cardiac procedures, but is a relatively small vessel that is prone to spasm when instrumented. Intra-arterial nitroglycerine has been shown to reduce radial spasm but first requires arterial acce...

Vascular access site and outcomes among 26,807 chronic total coronary occlusion angioplasty cases from the British Cardiovascular Interventions Society National database (2017)
Journal Article

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess, using a national percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) database, access-site choice and outcomes after chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI. Background Given the influence of access site on outcome...
