We sought to compare operator radiation exposure during procedures using right femoral access (RFA), right radial access (RRA), and left radial access (LRA) during coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Because of an increased incidence of long-term malignancy in interventional cardiologists, operator radiation exposure is of rising concern. This prospective...

Coronary evaginations and peri-scaffold aneurysms following implantation of bioresorbable scaffolds: incidence, outcome, and optical coherence tomography analysis of possible mechanisms

Gori, Tommaso ; Jansen, Thomas ; Weissner, Melissa ; Foin, Nicolas ; Wenzel, Philip ; Schulz, Eberhard ; Cook, Stéphane ; Münzel, Thomas

In: European Heart Journal, 2016, vol. 37, no. 26, p. 2040–2049

Background Peri-stent coronary evaginations may disturb flow and have been proposed as possible risk factor for late stent thrombosis. We describe incidence, predictors, and possible mechanisms of coronary evaginations 12 months after implantation of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS).Methods and results One hundred and two BVS implanted in 90 patients...

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident an attempt has been made to evaluate the impact of the Chernobyl accident on the global burden of human cancer in Europe. This required the estimation of radiation doses in each of the 40 European countries. Dose estimation was based on the analysis and compilation of data either published in the scientific literature or...
