Vascular access site management is crucial to safe, efficient and comfortable diagnostic or interventional percutaneous coronary or peripheral interventions. In recent years, vascular closure devices have gained popularity and are being used for rapid hemostasis and early ambulation as an alternative to manual compression. However, controversy still exists over their superiority over manual com...

Vascular closure devices (VCDs) introduce a novel means for improving patient comfort and accelerating ambulation after invasive cardiovascular procedures performed via femoral arterial access. Vascular closure devices have provided simple, rapid, and reliable hemostasis in a variety of clinical settings. Despite more than a decade of development, however, VCD utilization has neither been routi...

There is a lack of standard minimal requirements for the training of insertion techniques and maintenance of central venous access devices (CVADs). An international evidence-based consensus task force was established through the World Congress of Vascular Access (WoCoVA) to provide definitions and recommendations for training and insertion of CVADs. Medical literature published from February 19...

a bstra ct   background: vascular access complications are a major cause of excessive morbidity and mortality in the dialysis population. moreover, there is not sufficient research regarding the factors correlated with vascular access complications among hemodialysis patients. this study aimed to evaluate the vascular access complications and their related factors such as nursing techniques and...

Magnetic Random Access Memories (MRAMs) are “Spintronics” devices that store data in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJs) and have high data processing speed, low power consumption and high integration density compared with FLASH memories. Also, MRAM offers relative large Tunnel Magneto Resistance (TMR) at room temperature and it is compatible with Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) pro...
