Tortuosity in non-atherosclerotic vascular diseases is associated with age, arterial aneurysms, and hypertension. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2024; 19:227. [PMID: 38849913 PMCID: PMC11157772 DOI: 10.1186/s13023-024-03231-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased arterial tortuosity has been associated with various cardiovascular complications. However, the extent and role of arterial tortuosity in non-atherosclerotic vascular diseases remain to be fully elucidated. This study aimed to assess arterial tortuosity index (ATI) in patients with non-atherosclerotic vascular diseases and the associated factors. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of patients with non-atherosclerotic vascular diseases referred to the Malformation and Rare Vascular Disease Center at the University Hospital in Lausanne (Switzerland). Computed tomography angiography (CTA) images performed between October 2010 and April 2022 were retrieved and the aortic tortuosity index (ATI) was calculated. Patients were classified based on diagnosis into the following groups: arterial dissection & aneurysm, arteritis & autoimmune disease, hereditary connective tissue diseases, and fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine potentially relevant predictors of aortic tortuosity. RESULTS The mean age upon computed tomography angiography (CTA) was 46.8 (standard deviation [SD] 14.6) years and 59.1% of the patients were female. Mean ATI was higher in patients over 60 years old (1.27), in those with arterial aneurysms (mean: 1.11), and in those diagnosed with hypertension (mean: 1.13). When only patients over 60 years old were considered, those diagnosed with connective tissue diseases had the highest ATI. At multivariate regression analysis, increasing age (p < 0.05), presence of arterial aneurysms (p < 0.05), and hypertension (p < 0.05) were independently associated with ATI. CONCLUSIONS The ATI may be a promising tool in diagnostic evaluation, cardiovascular risk stratification, medical or surgical management, and prognostic assessment in several non-atherosclerotic vascular conditions. Further studies with longitudinal design and larger cohorts are needed to validate the role of ATI in the full spectrum of vascular diseases.

Neurol Sci 2024:10.1007/s10072-024-07591-9. [PMID: 38809448 DOI: 10.1007/s10072-024-07591-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The morphology of basilar artery (BA) may affect posterior circulation blood perfusion. We aimed to investigate whether different degrees of BA tortuosity could lead to the alterations of posterior circulation perfusion. METHODS We collected 138 subjects with different BA tortuosity scores, including 32 cases of score 0, 45 cases of score 1, 43 cases of score 2, and 18 cases of score 3. A higher score represented a higher degree of BA tortuosity. Ordered logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the risk factors for BA tortuosity. We quantitatively measured the cerebral blood flow (CBF) in eight posterior circulation brain regions using arterial spin labeling. SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis. The correlation between the CBF and BA tortuosity was corrected by the Bonferroni method. The significance level was set at 0.006 (0.05/8). RESULTS Hypertension (HR: 2.39; 95%CI: 1.23-4.71; P = 0.01) and vertebral artery dominance (HR: 2.38; 95%CI: 1.10-4.67; P = 0.03) were risk factors for BA tortuosity. CBF in occipital gray matter (R = -0.383, P < 0.001), occipital white matter (R = -0.377, P < 0.001), temporal gray matter (R = -0.292, P = 0.001), temporal white matter (R = -0.297, P < 0.001), and cerebellum (R = -0.328, P < 0.001) were negatively correlated with BA tortuosity degree. No significant correlation was found between the BA tortuosity degree and CBF in hippocampus (R = -0.208, P = 0.014), thalamus (R = -0.001, P = 0.988) and brainstem (R = -0.204, P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS BA tortuosity could affect posterior circulation blood perfusion. CBF was negatively correlated with BA tortuosity degree. The morphology of BA may serve as a biomarker for posterior circulation and the severity of posterior circulation ischemia.

Relationship between low relative muscle mass and aortic regional morphological changes in adults underwent contrast CT scans for cancer diagnostics. J Nutr Health Aging 2024; 28:100167. [PMID: 38307783 DOI: 10.1016/j.jnha.2024.100167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Low muscle mass is related to cardiovascular risk factors. This study aimed to investigate whether relative low muscle mass is related to the diameter and tortuosity of the aorta. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of 208 adults without known cardiovascular disease who underwent Computed Tomography (CT) enhanced scan between 2020 and 2021. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was estimated. The morphology of the aorta was measured by diameter and tortuosity using CT. We assessed the relationship between SMI and diameter and tortuosity of the aorta using Spearman correlation analysis and univariate and multivariate-adjusted regression models. RESULTS Of all -individuals, 124 (59.6%) were male. The average age was 60.13 ± 16.33 years old. SMI was inversely associated with the diameter and tortuosity of the aorta (p < 0.05). Specifically, in a multivariable-adjusted model adjusting for potential confounders, a one-unit increase in the SMI was associated with a -13.56mm(95% confidence intervals (CI): -18.16 to -8.96, p < 0.001), -7.93 mm (95% CI: -10.85 to -5.02, p < 0.001), -8.01 mm (95% CI: -11.30 to -4.73, p < 0.001), -5.16 mm (95% CI: -7.57 to -2.75, p < 0.001) and -2.73 mm (95% CI: -5.18 to -0.27, p = 0.031) increase in L1-L5 diameter respectively, a -0.89 (95% CI: -1.14 to -0.64, p < 0.001) increase in the aorta tortuosity, a -0.48 (95% CI: -0.59 to -0.36, p < 0.001) increase in the descending thoracic aorta tortuosity, and a -0.44 (95% CI: -0.52 to -0.35, p < 0.001) increase in the abdominal aorta tortuosity. CONCLUSIONS Relative muscle mass was negatively associated with the diameter and tortuosity of the aorta, suggesting muscle mass maintenance may play a role in preventing aortic morphological changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The recent shift from transfemoral access to transradial access in neurointervention has led to gaps in guiding systems. We propose a useful guiding system, the solo distal access catheter system without a conventional guiding catheter or a sheath in transradial access for aneurysms treatment. We also assessed the anatomical features required for suitable patient selection. METHODS We retrospectively collected data from consecutive patients with aneurysms treated with the solo distal access catheter system at our institution between April 2022 and April 2023, and evaluated the anatomical factors that appeared to affect the procedure. RESULTS Of the 20 patients who underwent transradial access, 11 were treated using the solo distal access catheter system, and 10 (90.9%) completed the procedure. No radial artery occlusion was detected. The entry angle of the target vessel ranged from 37° to 139°, and the mean proximal parent artery diameter was 9.34 ± 1.48 mm. A double subclavian innominate curve was observed in 3 of 5 patients whose target vessels were the right common carotid artery. CONCLUSIONS Using a solo distal access catheter as a guiding system for treating aneurysm proved effective and feasible with appropriate patient selection. Anatomical assessment of the entry angle of the target vessel, proximal parent artery diameter, and tortuosity may be important factors for the success of this method.

Abstract
Background: One of the limitations of the right radial access approach is complex vessel anatomy, such as subclavian tortuosity. Several clinical predictors have been proposed for tortuosities, such as older age, female sex and hypertension. In this study, we hypothesised that chest radiography would add predictive value to the traditional predictors. Methods: This prospective blinded study included patients who underwent transradial access coronary angiography. They were classified into four groups according to difficulty: Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IV. Different groups were compared according to clinical and radiographic characteristics. Results: The study included 108 patients (54, 27, 17 and 10 patients in Groups I, II, III and IV, respectively). The rate of crossover to transfemoral access was 9.26%. Age, hypertension and female sex were associated with a greater difficulty and failure rates. Regarding radiographic parameters, a higher failure rate was associated with a higher diameter of the aortic knuckle (Group IV, 4.09 ± 1.32 cm versus Groups I, II and III combined, 3.26 ± 0.98 cm; p=0.015) and the width of the mediastinum (Group IV, 8.96 ± 2.88 cm versus Groups I, II and III combined, 7.28 ± 1.78 cm; p=0.009). The cut-off value for prominent aortic knuckle was 3.55 cm (sensitivity 70% and specificity 67.35%) and the width of mediastinum was 6.59 cm (sensitivity 90% and specificity 42.86%). Conclusion: Radiographic prominent aortic knuckle and wide mediastinum are valuable clinical parameters and useful predictors for transradial access failure caused by tortuosity of the right subclavian/brachiocephalic arteries or aorta.

Abstract
As the population ages, older adults represent an increasing proportion of patients referred to the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Older adults are the highest-risk group for morbidity and mortality, particularly after complex, high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions. Structured risk assessment plays a key role in differentiating patients who are likely to derive net benefit vs those who have disproportionate risks for harm. Conventional risk assessment tools from national cardiovascular societies typically rely on 3 pillars: 1) cardiovascular risk; 2) physiologic and hemodynamic risk; and 3) anatomic and procedural risks. We propose adding a fourth pillar: geriatric syndromes, as geriatric domains can supersede all other aspects of risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Catheter angiography via transradial access (TRA) is better at reducing access site complications and morbidity than via transfemoral access (TFA). The rate of periprocedural complications increases in elderly populations and using a smaller sheath can help reduce access site complications. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of 4 F sheath-based TRA cerebral angiography in elderly patients (≥65 years) and compare it to TFA cerebral angiography. METHODS The medical records of elderly patients undergoing diagnostic cerebral angiography with a single neurointerventionalist via TRA (57 cases, from July 2019 to December 2020) versus TFA (69 cases, from January 2018 to June 2019) were retrospectively reviewed. All TRA angiographies were performed via right radial artery access with a 4 F sheath and a 4 F Simmons 2 catheter. RESULTS There were no significant differences (TRA vs. TFA) in age (71.1 ± 4.0 vs. 72.1 ± 4.6 years, p = 0.189), accessed vessels (3.9 ± 0.5 vs. 3.9 ± 0.6, p = 0.852), fluoroscopy time (7.1 ± 3.3 vs. 7.6 ± 3.5 min, p = 0.068), and radiation exposure (42.1 ± 15.8 vs. 47.0 ± 13.7 Gy-cm2, p = 0.067). However, the procedure duration was significantly shorter in the TRA group (17.2 ± 3.9 vs. 19.0 ± 6.0 min, p = 0.003). Painful groin hematoma occurred in 2 of the 69 cases (2.9%) in the TFA group. In the TRA group, access site complications were not occurred; however, catheter kinks occurred in 2 of 57 cases (3.5%). CONCLUSIONS The 4 F sheath-based TRA is a feasible option for diagnostic cerebral angiography in elderly patients. However, care should be taken during catheter manipulation.

Abstract
Enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS) are considered a biomarker for vascular pathology and are observed in normal aging and neurological conditions; however, research on the role of PVS in health and disease are hindered by the lack of knowledge regarding the normative time course of PVS alterations with age. To this end, we characterized the influence of age, sex and cognitive performance on PVS anatomical characteristics in a large cross-sectional cohort (∼1400) of healthy subjects between 8 and 90 years of age using multimodal structural MRI data. Our results show age is associated with wider and more numerous MRI-visible PVS over the course of the lifetime with spatially-varying patterns of PVS enlargement trajectories. In particular, regions with low PVS volume fraction in childhood are associated with rapid age-related PVS enlargement (e.g., temporal regions), while regions with high PVS volume fraction in childhood are associated with minimal age-related PVS alterations (e.g., limbic regions). PVS burden was significantly elevated in males compared to females with differing morphological time courses with age. Together, these findings contribute to our understanding of perivascular physiology across the healthy lifespan and provide a normative reference for the spatial distribution of PVS enlargement patterns to which pathological alterations can be compared.

Abstract
Background The effect of left subclavian artery tortuosity during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. Methods Of 245 ACS patients (from November 2019 and May 2021), 79 who underwent PCI via a left radial approach (LRA) were included. We measured the angle of the left subclavian artery in the coronal view on CT imaging as an indicator of the tortuosity and investigated the association between that angle and the clinical variables and procedural time. Results Patients with a left subclavian artery angle of a median of <70 degrees (severe tortuosity) were older (75.4 ± 11.7 vs. 62.9 ± 12.3 years, P < 0.001) and had a higher prevalence of female sex (42.1% vs. 14.6%, P=0.007), hypertension (94.7% vs. 75.6%, P=0.02), and subclavian artery calcification (73.7% vs. 34.2%, P < 0.001) than those with that ≥70 degrees. The left subclavian artery angle correlated negatively with the sheath cannulation to the first balloon time (ρ = -0.51, P < 0.001) and total procedural time (ρ = -0.32, P=0.004). A multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the natural log transformation of the sheath insertion to first balloon time was associated with a subclavian artery angle of <70 degrees (β = 0.45, P < 0.001). Conclusion Our study showed that lower left subclavian artery angles as a marker of the tortuosity via the LRA were strongly associated with a longer sheath insertion to balloon time and subsequent entire procedure time during the PCI.

Abstract
Background Old age and the presence of aortic stenosis are associated with the unfolding of the intrathoracic aorta. This may result in increased difficulties navigating catheters from the right compared to the left radial approach. Objective To investigate whether increasing age or presence of severe aortic stenosis was associated with increased catheterization success rates from left (LRA) compared to right radial artery approach (RRA). Methods We compared coronary angiography success rates of RRA and LRA according to different age groups and in a subgroup of patients with severe aortic stenosis. Results A total of 21,259 coronary angiographies were evaluated. With increasing age, the first pass success rate from either radial access decreased significantly (p < 0.001). In patients aged <85 years, there was no difference between LRA and RRA. However, in patients aged ≥85 years, LRA was associated with significantly higher success rates compared to RRA (90.1 vs. 82.8%, p = 0.003). Patients aged ≥85 years received less contrast agent and had shorter fluoroscopy time when LRA was used [86.6 ± 41.1 vs. 99.6 ± 48.7 ml (p < 0.001) and 4.5 ± 4.1 min vs. 6.2 ± 5.7 min (p < 0.001), mean (±SD)]. In patients with severe aortic stenosis (n = 589) better first pass success rates were observed via LRA compared to the RRA route (91.9 vs. 85.1%, p = 0.037). Conclusion LRA, compared to RRA, is associated with a higher first-pass catheter success rate for coronary artery angiography in patients aged ≥85 years and those with severe aortic stenosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transradial access (TRA) is commonly utilized in neurointerventional procedures. This study compared the technical and clinical outcomes of the use of TRA versus those of transfemoral access (TFA) for intracranial aneurysm embolization with the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of the Worldwide WEB Consortium, which comprises multicenter data related to adult patients with intracranial aneurysms who were managed with the WEB device. These aneurysms were categorized into two groups: those who were treated with TRA or TFA. Patient and aneurysm characteristics and technical and clinical outcomes were compared between groups. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match groups according to the following baseline characteristics: age, sex, subarachnoid hemorrhage, aneurysm location, bifurcation aneurysm, aneurysm with incorporated branch, neck width, aspect ratio, dome width, and elapsed time since the last follow-up imaging evaluation. RESULTS This study included 682 intracranial aneurysms (median [interquartile range] age 61.3 [53.0-68.0] years), of which 561 were treated with TFA and 121 with TRA. PSM resulted in 65 matched pairs. After PSM, both groups had similar characteristics, angiographic and functional outcomes, and rates of retreatment, thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications, and death. TFA was associated with longer procedure length (median 96.5 minutes vs 72.0 minutes, p = 0.006) and fluoroscopy time (28.2 minutes vs 24.8 minutes, p = 0.037) as compared with TRA. On the other hand, deployment issues were more common in those treated with TRA, but none resulted in permanent complications. CONCLUSIONS TRA has comparable outcomes, with shorter procedure and fluoroscopy time, to TFA for aneurysm embolization with the WEB device.

Abstract
Transradial access has established as preferred access for cardiac catheterization. Difficult vascular anatomy (DVA) is a noticeable threat to procedural success. We retrospectively analyzed 1397 consecutive cardiac catheterizations to estimate prevalence and identify predictors of DVA. In the subclavian-innominate-aortic-region (SIAR), DVA was causing failure in 2.4% during right-sided vs. 0.7% in left-sided forearm-artery-access (FAA) attempts (χ2 = 5.1, p = 0.023). Independent predictors were advanced age [odds ratio (OR) 1.44 per 10-year increase, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15 to 1.80, p = 0.001] and right FAA (OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.72 to 3.69, p < 0.001). In the radial-ulnar-brachial region (RUBR), DVA was causing failure in 2.5% during right-sided vs. 1.7% in left-sided FAA (χ2 = 0.77, p = 0.38). Independent predictors were age (OR 1.28 per 10-year increase, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.61, p = 0.04), lower height (OR 1.56 per 10-cm decrease, 95% CI 1.13 to 2.15, p = 0.008) and left FAA (OR 2.15, 95% CI 1.45 to 3.18, p < 0.001). Bilateral DVA was causing procedural failure in 0.9% of patients. The prevalence of bilateral DVA was rare. Predictors in SIAR were right FAA and advanced age and in RUBR, left FAA, advanced age and lower height. Gender, arterial hypertension, body mass, STEMI and smoking were not associated with DVA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The radial approach has been gaining more widespread use by neurointerventionalists fueled by data from the cardiology literature showing better safety and overall reduced morbidity. OBJECTIVE To present our institution's experience with the radial approach for neuroendovascular interventions in 614 consecutive patients who underwent a cumulative of 760 procedures. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed and identified neuroendovascular procedures performed via the upper extremity vasculature access site. RESULTS Amongst 760 procedures, 34.2% (260) were therapeutic, and 65.7% (500) were nontherapeutic angiograms. Access sites were 71.5% (544) via a conventional radial artery, 27.8% (211) via a distal radial artery, 0.5% (4) via an ulnar artery, and 0.1% (1) via the brachial artery. Most of the procedures (96.9%) were performed via the right-sided (737), 2.9% (22) via the left-sided, and 0.1% (1) via a bilateral approach. Major access site complications occurred at a rate of 0.9% (7). The rate of transfemoral conversion was 4.7% (36). There was a statistically higher incidence of transfemoral conversion when repeat procedures were performed using the same access site. Also, there was no significant difference between nontherapeutic procedures performed using the right and left radial access, and conventional versus distal radial access. Procedural metrics improved after completion of 14 procedures, indicating a learning curve that should be surpassed by operators to reach optimal outcomes. CONCLUSION Radial artery catheterization is a safe and effective means of carrying out a wide range of neuroendovascular procedures associated with excellent clinical outcomes and an overall low rate of periprocedural complications.

Characterization of Lenticulostriate Arteries and Its Associations With Vascular Risk Factors in Community-Dwelling Elderly. Front Aging Neurosci 2021; 13:685571. [PMID: 34239436 PMCID: PMC8258402 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2021.685571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) supply blood to important subcortical areas and are, therefore, essential for maintaining the optimal functioning of the brain’s most metabolically active nuclei. Past studies have demonstrated the potential for quantifying the morphology of LSAs as biomarkers of vascular fragility or underlying arteriopathies. Thus, the current study aims to evaluate the morphological features of LSAs, their potential value in cerebrovascular risk stratification, and their concordance with other vascular risk factors in community-dwelling elderly people. A total of 125 community-dwelling elderly subjects who underwent a brain MRI scan were selected from our prospectively collected imaging database. The morphological measures of LSAs were calculated on the vascular skeletons obtained by manual tracing, and the number of LSAs was counted. Additionally, imaging biomarkers of small vessel disease were evaluated, and the diameters of major cerebral arteries were measured. The effects of vascular risk factors on LSA morphometry, as well as the relationship between LSA measures and other imaging biomarkers, were investigated. We found that smokers had shorter (p = 0.04) and straighter LSAs (p < 0.01) compared to nonsmokers, and the presence of hypertension is associated with less tortuous LSAs (p = 0.03) in community-dwelling elderly. Moreover, the middle cerebral artery diameter was positively correlated with LSA count (r = 0.278, p = 0.025) and vessel tortuosity (r = 0.257, p = 0.04). The posterior cerebral artery diameter was positively correlated with vessel tortuosity and vessel length. Considering the scarcity of noninvasive methods for measuring small artery abnormalities in the brain, the LSA morphological measures may provide valuable information to better understand cerebral small vessel degeneration during aging.

Intracranial Arterial Tortuosity in Marfan Syndrome and Loeys-Dietz Syndrome: Tortuosity Index Evaluation Is Useful in the Differential Diagnosis. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2020; 41:1916-1922.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association of arterial tortuosity and connective tissue diseases is widely reported in the literature, but only a few studies were based on a quantitative evaluation of this arterial phenotype, and none of the latter examined the intracranial vasculature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of intracranial arterial tortuosity in patients with Marfan syndrome and those with Loeys-Dietz syndrome, and to assess its usefulness in the differential diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 68 patients with genetically confirmed Marfan syndrome (n = 36) or Loeys-Dietz syndrome (n = 32), who underwent at least 1 MRA of the brain at our institution. Fifty-two controls were randomly selected among patients who presented with headache and without any known comorbidity. Tortuosity indexes of 4 intracranial arterial segments were measured on a 3D volume-rendered angiogram by using the following formula: [Formula: see text]. RESULTS Both Marfan syndrome and Loeys-Dietz syndrome showed a significantly higher tortuosity index compared with controls in all examined vessels. The tortuosity index of the vertebrobasilar system showed an excellent interrater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.99) and was the strongest independent predictor of Loeys-Dietz syndrome in patients with connective tissue disease (P = .002), with a 97% specificity for this pathology when its value was > 60. CONCLUSIONS The tortuosity index of intracranial arteries is an easily calculated and highly reproducible measure, which shows a high specificity for Marfan syndrome and Loeys-Dietz syndrome and may be useful in differentiating these 2 entities.

Abstract
Knowledge of anatomic variation in vasculature is critical to safe medical intervention as conduits vary in morphology, architecture, and course. Tortuosity is a common anatomic variant in certain arterial beds; however, its prevalence in ulnar arteries is not well documented in the literature. Here we report two cases of tortuous ulnar arteries in patients being evaluated for upper extremity hemodialysis access.

Transradial approach for diagnostic cerebral angiograms in the elderly: a comparative observational study. J Neurointerv Surg 2020; 12:1235-1241.

Abstract
BackgroundThe transradial approach (TRA) reduces mortality, morbidity, access site complications, hospital cost, and length of stay while maximizing patient satisfaction. We aimed to assess the technical success and safety of TRA for elderly patients (aged ≥75 years).MethodsA retrospective chart review and comparative analysis was performed for elderly patients undergoing a diagnostic cerebral angiogram performed via TRA versus transfemoral approach (TFA). Also, a second comparative analysis was performed among the TRA cohort between elderly patients and their younger counterparts.ResultsComparative analysis in the elderly (TRA vs TFA) showed no significant differences for contrast dose per vessel (43.7 vs 34.6 mL, P=0.106), fluoroscopy time per vessel (5.7 vs 5.2 min, P=0.849), procedure duration (59.8 vs 65.2 min, P=0.057), conversion rate (5.8% vs 2.9%, P=0.650), and access site complications (2.3% vs 2.9%, P=1.00). Radiation exposure per vessel (18.9 vs 51.9 Gy cm2, P=0.001) was significantly lower in the elderly TRA group.The second comparison (TRA in elderly vs TRA in the young) showed no significant differences for contrast dose per vessel (43.7 vs 37.8 mL, P=0.185), radiation exposure per vessel (18.9 vs 16.5 Gy cm2, P=0.507), procedure duration (59.8 vs 58.3 min, P=0.788), access site complication (2.3% vs 1.7%, P=0.55), and conversation rate (5.8% vs 1.8%, P=0.092). A trend for prolonged fluoroscopy time per vessel (5.7 vs 4.7 min, P=0.050) was observed in the elderly TRA group.ConclusionsTRA is a technically feasible and safe option for diagnostic neurointerventional procedures in the elderly. Our small elderly cohort was not powered enough to show a significant difference in terms of access site complications between TRA and TFA.

Abstract
BackgroundNumerous large randomized trials have shown a significant morbidity and mortality benefit with the transradial approach (TRA) over the transfemoral approach (TFA) for endovascular procedures. However, this technique is routinely avoided or aborted due to unfamiliarity with the technique and the associated anatomical difficulties that may be faced in this approach. The objective of this review is to identify both the common and uncommon challenges that may be encountered during a transradial approach for cerebrovascular catheterization and to provide tips and tricks to overcome the transradial learning curve.MethodA careful review of the literature and of all our transradial cases was carried out to identify the common challenges and complications that are encountered when using TRA for diagnostic cerebral angiography and neurointerventions.ResultsA stepwise approach is provided to prevent and manage common challenges including radial artery access failure, radial artery spasm, radial artery anomalies and tortuosity, radial artery occlusion, radial artery perforation and hematoma, subclavian tortuosity and anomalies, and catheter knots and kinks.ConclusionThe ability to recognize and navigate anatomical variations and complications unique to TRA will accelerate learning, decrease unnecessary morbidity and mortality, and further advance the neurovascular field.

Abstract
Coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention using the radial approach are becoming more frequent. Pronounced guide catheter manipulation in cases with tortuous access routes may lead to severe catheter kinking or knotting. The purpose of this review article is to present several techniques to resolve radial access catheter knots and kinks. First, simple maneuvers such as gentle traction, rotation, and guidewire advancement can often resolve minor kinking; however, complex loops and kinks are often not reversible with these simple maneuvers. Second, fixing the distal catheter tip using external compression, encasing the knot with a larger sheath, or untwisting the knot with hydraulic pressure can be useful. Finally, internal fixation by grasping the kinked catheter with a snare introduced via the femoral artery allows both ends of the catheter to be rotated in opposite directions to untwist the catheter for safe removal.

Abstract
The relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and augmentation index (AIx) remains unclear. We conducted an observational cross‐sectional study. Subjects were patients who underwent coronary angiography. We examined the relationship between high AIx and several factors. The total number of diabetic patients was 144, and median AIx was 0.256. In diabetic patients, the significant relationship between female gender and high AIx (median cut‐off value, ≥0.256) was found by the multivariate logistic analysis (adjusted odds ratio = 2.888; 95% confidence interval: 1.032‐8.081). The significant relationship between female gender and high AIx was found in patients with DM.

Abstract
Background Although left innominate vein (LIV) stenosis has been demonstrated to be attributed to compression by adjacent anatomical structures, most of the studies are focusing on hemodialysis patients with clinical symptoms compatible with LIV stenosis. The goal of this study was to retrospectively investigate the incidence of LIV stenosis and its influencing factors in an asymptomatic, non-hemodialysis population, which has rarely been performed. Methods From Jan 2013 to Dec 2014, 212 consecutive cases undergoing a chest multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography were enrolled. LIV stenosis was defined as loss of the area of the LIV (that is, 1 − compression degree) >25%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the independent risk factors associated with LIV stenosis. Results LIV stenosis occurred in 35.4% of cases (75/212), with the median loss of the area of the LIV of 36.2% (interquartile range 30.2–49.8%). There were significant differences in age (62.5 ± 11.7 vs. 58.6 ± 14.3 years; P = 0.041), BMI (23.9 ± 2.9 vs. 23.0 ± 3.3, P = 0.036), the frequency of crossing site of LIV over the origin of the aortic arch (54.7 vs. 24.8%, P < 0.001), and the space between aortic arch and sternum [mean ± SD, 11.6 ± 4.2 mm vs. median, 14.1 (interquartile range 11.9–16.3) mm, P < 0.001] between patients with and without LIV stenosis, but only the latter two were confirmed as independent factors by the multivariate logistic regression analysis [crossing site of LIV over the aortic arch, OR (95% CI) = 2.632 (1.401, 4.944), P = 0.003; space between the aortic arch and sternum, OR (95% CI) = 0.841 (0.770, 0.919), P < 0.001]. Conclusion The patients with an older age, high BMI, LIV crossing over the origin of the aortic arch, or smaller space between aortic arch and sternum may have high risks for LIV stenosis. They should be paid more attention to exclude LIV stenosis preoperatively using MDCT angiography to prevent venous access dysfunction and symptomatic development by fistula creation when hemodialysis is required.

Abstract
Left transradial approach (TRA) for coronary angiography is associated with lower radiation parameters than right TRA in an all-comers population. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of left versus right TRA on radiation parameters in patients with predictors of TRA failure. Patients with predictors of TRA failure (≥3 of 4 following criteria: age ≥70 years, female gender, height ≤64 inches, and hypertension) referred to TRA operators were randomized to either right (n = 50) or left (n = 50) TRA, whereas those referred to transfemoral approach (TFA) operators were enrolled in a prospective registry (n = 50). The primary end point was the radiation measure of dose-area product (DAP). In an intention-to-treat analysis, DAP (34.1 Gy·cm(2) [24.9 to 45.6] vs 41.9 Gy·cm(2) [27.3 to 58.0], p = 0.08), fluoroscopy time (3.7 minutes [2.4 to 6.3] vs 5.6 minutes [3.1 to 8.7], p = 0.07), and operator radiation exposure (516 μR [275 to 967] vs 730 μR [503 to 1,165], p = 0.06) were not significantly different between left and right TRA, but total dose (411 mGy [310 to 592] vs 537 mGy [368 to 780], p = 0.03) was significantly lower with left versus right TRA. Radiation parameters were lowest in the TFA cohort (DAP 24.5 Gy·cm(2) [15.7 to 33.2], p <0.001; fluoroscopy time 2.3 minutes [1.5 to 3.7], p <0.001; operator radiation exposure 387 μR [264 to 557]; total dose 345 mGy [250 to 468], p = 0.001). Results were similar after adjustment for differences in baseline characteristics. In conclusion, median measurements of radiation were overall not significantly different between left versus right TRA in this select population of patients with predictors of TRA failure. All measurements of radiation were lowest in the TFA group.

Abstract
Despite increasing use of the transradial approach (TRA) for coronary angiography, TRA failure and subsequent access site crossover remain a barrier to TRA adoption. The aim of this study was to elucidate patient and procedural characteristics associated with TRA to transfemoral approach (TFA) crossover and examine TRA to TFA crossover by operator experience over time. This retrospective analysis identified 1,600 patients who underwent coronary angiography with possible percutaneous coronary intervention through TRA by operators with varied TRA experience in an urban tertiary care center from October 2010 to August 2013. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression were used to identify independent predictors of access site crossover, from TRA to TFA, and strength of association is presented as odds ratio (OR, 95% confidence interval [CI]). Access site crossover was noted in 166 patients (10.4%). Multivariable predictors of access site crossover included age >75 years (OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.23 to 2.91, p = 0.004) and operator experience (OR 2.98, 95% CI 1.96 to 4.52, p <0.0001). Less experienced operators (≤5 years TRA experience) had a decrease in access site crossover over time (quartile 1: 8.9%, quartile 2: 18.8%, quartile 3: 16.4%, and quartile 4: 8.6%, p <0.001), which paralleled an increase in the proportion of procedures using initial TRA over time (quartile 1: 38.0%, quartile 2: 53.7%, quartile 3: 54.8%, and quartile 4: 70.3%, p <0.001). Experienced operators (>5 years TRA experience) had no significant change in proportion of access site crossover over time (quartile 1: 2.8%, quartile 2: 6.4%, quartile 3: 5.6%, quartile 4: 5.8%, p = 0.54). In conclusion, rate of access site crossover in the contemporary era is relatively low and can be mitigated with operator experience.

Abstract
The transradial approach for coronary angiography was first described in 1989. With the advent of modern equipment and improved technology it has recently gained significant interest amongst interventional cardiologists. As compared to femoral access, the radial approach has the major advantages of lower access site complication rates, cost-effectiveness, and shorter hospital stays. Further clinical benefits of lower morbidity and cardiac mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction have been shown recently. Rare vascular complications may include radial artery spasm, dissection, occlusion, perforation or compartment syndrome. Here, we present two unusual cases of an entrapped catheter in the radial artery and their outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies demonstrate an increase in radiation exposure with transradial approach (TRA) when compared with transfemoral approach (TFA) for coronary angiography. Given the learning curve associated with TRA, it is not known if this increased radiation exposure to patients is seen when procedures are performed by experienced operators. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 1,696 patients who underwent coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by experienced operators at a tertiary center from October 2010 to June 2011. Experienced operators were defined as those that perform >75 PCIs/year with >95% of cases performed using the TRA or TFA approach for ≥5 years. The outcomes of interest were dose area product (DAP) and fluoroscopy time (FT). RESULTS Of the 1,696 patients, 1,382 (81.5%) were performed by experienced femoral operators using TFA and 314 (18.5%) were performed by experienced radial operators using TRA. Most of these cases (65.4%) were diagnostic only (870 TFA and 240 TRA) with both DAP (6040 [3210-8786] vs 5019 [3377-6869] μGy·m(2), P = .003] and FT [6.2 [4.0-10.3] vs 3.3 [2.6-5.0] minutes, P < .001) significantly higher using TRA versus TFA. For procedures involving PCI, despite similar baseline patient, procedural and lesion characteristics, DAP and FT remained significantly higher using TRA versus TFA (19,649 [11,996-25,929] vs 15,395 [10,078-21,617] μGy·m(2), P = .02 and 22.1 [13.3-31.0] vs. 13.8 [9.8-20.3] minutes, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In a contemporary cohort of patients undergoing coronary angiography by experienced operators, TRA was associated with higher radiation exposure when compared with TFA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radial access for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is well established in terms of safety and efficacy. However, there are limited data on the impact of the use of a single dedicated radial guide catheter in primary PCI using radial access. AIMS To determine the overall cardiac catheterisation laboratory to balloon time (CCL2BT) and door to balloon (D2BT) time in transradial PPCI. To determine the impact of a single dedicated radial guide catheter on CCLD2BT and D2BT in transradial PPCI compared to conventional transfemoral PPCI. METHODS The procedural and clinical outcomes of consecutive patients who had transradial primary PCI between 2005 and 2009 were included in this study and compared with a matched cohort who underwent transfemoral primary PCI. RESULTS Overall D2BT and inpatient MACE were similar between the radial (n=53) and femoral (n=53) groups (85 and 82 min, P=0.889; 0% and 1.8% P=0.317 respectively). An increase in the CCL2BT and procedural times was noted in the radial compared to the femoral group (34 min versus 29 min P=0.028; 15.8 min versus 11.6 min P=0.001). When a single radial guide catheter was used for the entire procedure, there was no difference in CCL2BT, D2BT and procedural times between the radial and femoral groups (31 min versus 29 min P=0.599; 74 min versus 82 min P=0.418; 50 min versus 47 min P=0.086). CONCLUSION The radial approach is safe and results in guideline recommended D2BT in STEMI. The use of a dedicated radial guide catheter reduces treatment time, demonstrating equivalent times to a femoral approach.

Abstract
Although it is well known that certain characteristics, such as older age, female gender, hypertension, and high body mass index, are closely associated with severe arterial tortuosity among patients undergoing transradial coronary angiography, few data are available regarding useful predictors of severe arterial tortuosity among geriatric patients. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the characteristics of geriatric patients with severe tortuosity of the right subclavian artery or brachiocephalic artery. The coronary angiographic reports of patients with severe tortuosity of the right subclavian artery or brachiocephalic artery and age- and gender-matched control patients were retrospectively evaluated. A total of 847 consecutive patients underwent right transradial coronary angiography. Of these patients, 48 (5.7%) had severe tortuosity (29 women, age 73.4 ± 8.6 years). The factors associated with severe arterial tortuosity were greater body mass index (odds ratio 1.17, p = 0.02), the presence of a prominently projected aortic arch on a chest radiograph (odds ratio 5.62, p <0.01), and lower serum creatinine value (odds ratio 0.05, p <0.01). In conclusion, the presence of a prominently projected aortic arch on the chest radiograph is a useful predictor of severe arterial tortuosity.

Abstract
Background: There are no reports on the risk of stroke after trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The aim of this population-based follow-up study was to investigate whether the occurrence of TN is associated with a higher risk of developing stroke. Methods: A total of 1453 people with at least three ambulatory visits in 2001 with the principal diagnosis of TN were enrolled in the TN cohort. The non-TN cohort consisted of 5812 age- and sex-matched, randomly sampled subjects without TN. The 2-year stroke-free survival rate between the two groups was compared using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the hazard ratio of stroke after adjustment for demographic and clinical covariates. Results: In the TN cohort, 73 patients developed stroke during follow-up, while in the non-TN cohort, 157 subjects suffered a stroke. The crude hazard ratio of stroke for the subjects with TN was 1.86 (95% CI, 1.41–2.45; p < 0.0001). The adjusted hazard ratio was 1.76 (95% CI, 1.33–2.33; p < 0.0001) after adjusting for demographic characteristics and comorbid medical disorders. Conclusion: This study showed a significantly increased risk of developing stroke after TN. Further studies are needed to investigate the underlying mechanism of this association.

Abstract
Advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and peri-procedural potent antithrombotic treatments during the past decade have dramatically improved the outcomes of ischemic heart disease. The femoral artery is the vascular route used in PCI in most catheterization labs. However, when the femoral artery is used as the approaching vessel, local hemorrhagic complication is not rare in the era of potent antithrombotics. Recent studies have suggested that peri-procedural bleeding complications after PCI are associated with increased short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. On the other hand, there has been growing interest in transradial PCI due to rare complications at the puncture site, patient conveniences, early discharge and shortened hospitalization periods. Furthermore, the indications of transradial PCI are expanding to the complex lesion subsets due to the miniaturization of devices used, improvement of devices and techniques, and accumulated experience with the use of transradial PCI. In this review, we discuss the data of transradial PCI as a potential default route in coronary artery interventions, as well as other issues that may raise concerns with transradial PCI.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the right radial approach encounters more tortuosity than the left radial approach during transradial coronary angiography. The objective of this study was to compare the procedural difficulty of the right and left radial approaches in the modern era with dedicated transradial catheters. One hundred ninety-three patients scheduled for transradial coronary angiography with normal Allen test results and without histories of coronary artery bypass grafting were randomized to the right or left radial approach. The choice of catheter was left to the discretion of the operator, with the preferred catheter being a dedicated transradial Optitorque catheter. The primary end point was procedural difficulty, defined as (1) hydrophilic or coronary wire use for tortuosity, (2) stiff wire use for the coronary engagement, (3) multiple catheters used, or (4) nonselective injection. The clinical characteristics were similar between the 2 groups. Procedural success was achieved in 98 of 101 (98%) in the right radial group and 91 of 92 (99%) in the left radial group. Procedural difficulty, fluoroscopy time, and contrast use were similar between the 2 groups. The use of a single catheter was more common in the right radial group (73% vs 18%, p <0.001). In conclusion, procedural success and difficulty were similar in the comparison groups. The right and left radial approaches are feasible and effective to perform coronary angiography and intervention.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Left transradial coronary angiography may result in damage of both radial arteries in patients who experienced right radial access. In some patients, the left radial artery has been used as a graft. We investigated whether graft angiography using right radial access is feasible in patients with bypass surgery to preserve the left radial artery as a future graft. Subjects and Methods A total of 109 consecutive patients with bypass surgery who had undergone right radial access underwent graft angiography via the same access. Results Sixteen (15%) patients were excluded because of the presence of a severely tortuous right subclavian artery. Bypass graft angiography via right radial or brachial access was completed successfully in 90 (97%) out of 93 patients. In 3 (3%) of patients, femoral access was needed to complete the angiography. Saphenous vein grafts were cannulated selectively in 150 (90%) of 167 grafts with satisfactory image quality and not found even on the aortogram in the other 17 (10%) grafts. Ninety-two (89%) out of 103 left mammary grafts were cannulated selectively or semi-selectively using a modified Simmons catheter, resulting in satisfactory image quality. The other 11 (11%) grafts were visualized non-selectively using a Judkins Left catheter, and resulting in acceptable image quality in 10 (91%) grafts. There were no procedure-related complications. Conclusion Graft angiography via right radial access can be performed reliably in most patients that lack severe subclavian tortuosity.
