Key result
Respiratory maneuvers (inspiration or expiration) can be utilized as a simple first step to aid successful left heart cardiac catheterization and coronary interventions.
Why the study?
Performing successful cardiac catheterization and intervention faces challenges like calcification or tortuosity, and performing respiratory maneuvers as a simple first step is underreported and underutilized.
Do respiratory maneuvers improve the success of left heart cardiac catheterization and intervention?
Do respiratory maneuvers improve the success of left heart cardiac catheterization and intervention?
Respiratory maneuvers are simple, underutilized techniques that can aid in successful left heart catheterization and coronary interventions, particularly in complex anatomies.
Respiratory maneuvers may aid device delivery in tortuous or calcified vessels; leaves open need for prospective validation before adoption.
Left heart catheterizations, coronary angiography, and coronary interventions are important common cardiac procedures. Performing a successful cardiac catheterization and intervention and proper catheterization and device delivery is not always without difficulties, especially in the context of calcification or vessel tortuosity. Although there are some techniques to overcome these issues, performing respiratory maneuvers (inspiration or expiration) can be simply tried as the first step to increase successful procedures which is underreported and underutilized. The goal of this article is to review current literature regarding useful respiratory maneuvers that can aid left heart cardiac catheterization, coronary angiography, and intervention for a successful procedure.
