The findings from a report commissioned by the Canadian Interventional Radiology Association (CIRA) and carried out by the Millennium Research Group (MRG) indicate that Canada lags behind other industrialised countries in the G7 such as Europe, USA and Japan in the adoption of interventional radiology treatment. Canada received formal recognition as a clinical subspecialty for interventional radiology in 2013.
Women could be at higher risk for adverse outcomes than men, but overall they have similar procedural success compared with men despite higher complications rates, data from a study published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology in June suggests
ArtVentive Medical Group has announced excellent clinical results in conjunction with expanded enrolment in the ArtVentive Endoluminal Occlusion System, or ArtVentive EOS device, OCCLUDE I post-market surveillance study.
New technology in the form of a magnetically-assisted remote-controlled catheter (MARC) which could allow physicians to see and assess brain tissue more clearly while treating a stroke may hold promise, according to study authors who released their findings at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) 11th Annual Meeting in Colorado Springs, USA
A small study conducted in Japan, published in CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology in July 2014, demonstrates that transcatheter arterial embolization is feasible and that it rapidly relieves pain associated with knee osteoarthritis and restores knee function.
The sobering results from SYMPLICITY-HTN 3 trial,1 which found that Medtronic’s Symplicity system was not associated with significant reductions in blood pressure compared with a sham procedure, have left some casual observers sceptical about the promise of renal denervation as a means to manage resistant hypertension
Renal artery stenting to open blockages in the kidney arteries may benefit patients who have historically been excluded from modern clinical trials, according to new recommendations e-published in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI)
Teleflex has announced that a newly published clinical study demonstrates that the accuracy of the Arrow VPS G4 vascular positioning system, with placements of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), can eliminate the use of confirmatory chest X-rays
Two-year data from a prospective, multicentre study suggest that endovascular therapy with stenting may be considered the preferred first-line treatment option for aortoiliac lesions, irrespectively of TASC lesion category.
A study from Denmark finds that the most important factors to predict long-term competent veins after catheter-directed thrombolysis are symptom duration of less than two weeks and use of the pulse spray technique.
EmboCoh is a structured international web-based channel, designed so that physicians can enter their data on embolization procedures. It will enable collaborative registry-style data collection and analysis, particularly of uncommon embolization procedures, which would not be meaningfully possible from single-centre data due to the paucity of cases.
Biotronik has announced the start of enrolment and first Pulsar-18 self-expanding stent implantations in the investigator-initiated BIOFLEX PEACE study. Building on positive results for the 4F stent in the earlier 4EVER and PEACE trials, this new all-comers registry is designed to evaluate the Pulsar-18’s efficacy for interventions on femoropopliteal lesions in a larger group of patients in a real-world setting.
The Heart and Vascular Outcomes Research Institute (HVORI) is collaborating with a number of medical centres to launch the iRetrieve study aimed to improve the retrieval rate of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters. John E Rectenwald, associate professor of Surgery, University of Michigan is the principal investigator for iRetrieve study, and the clinical trial is currently underway.
Gynesonics has announced the first treatment of a patient in Cologne, Germany, using the company’s newly-designed VizAblate system. VizAblate is the only medical device to integrate ultrasound imaging with radiofrequency ablation in a single handheld device for the treatment of fibroids.
