“…Furthermore, there was no comparative arm using a conventional sheath and GC system. Previous studies have confirmed that PCI using a conventional 5‐Fr sheath and GC system was technically feasible . Before the introduction of the Works system (5‐Fr sheathless GC) in our institution, PCI using conventional a 5‐Fr sheath and GC system was performed in 146 patients (160 lesions) from January 2008 to June 2010, and the clinical, angiographic, or procedural characteristics were similar to those in this study because the same operators performed PCI and chose the size of the GC (5‐Fr).…”

Smaller guiding catheters can help reduce local complications and patient morbidity during transradial coronary intervention (TRI). This study was designed to compare the patient's morbidity, success rate, and the operator's convenience between 5-French (5Fr) and 6-French (6Fr) TRIs. This is a single-center prospective randomized study. Patients who underwent TRI, in 2003, were prospectively randomized to either 5Fr or 6Fr catheter groups (100 patients in each group). Procedure-related patient morbidity as well as clinical and procedural characteristics was scored and analyzed. Procedural success rate was not significantly different between the groups. The number of unsatisfactory supports (6% in 5Fr group, 3% in 6Fr group; P=0.31) and the incidence of local wound complications were not significantly different between the groups. Local wound pain scores were significantly lower in the 5Fr group compared with the 6Fr group, particularly during sheath insertion and removal, and during procedures. Pain scores were higher in female patients than in male patients during sheath removal (male: 1.3+/-1.3, female: 1.7+/-1.5; P=0.049). Radial artery diameter was well correlated with local pain score during sheath removal (r=0.31, P<0.001), and with the height and weight of the patients (height: r=0.33, P<0.001; weight: r=0.27, P<0.001). In conclusion, using a 5Fr catheter during TRI reduce, local access site pain, particularly in female patients with smaller body size, whereas the success and local complication rates were similar to a 6Fr approach.

“…Third, the small inner diameter also limit the use of several PCI techniques with the virtual 3‐Fr system, e.g., anchor balloon technique [14] and kissing balloon inflation [1, 15]. As mentioned above, these techniques can now be used with a virtual 3‐Fr PCI system using a 0.010‐inch guidewire.…”

Incorporation of silica into styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)-reclaim rubber (RR) blend system was carried out by sol-gel technique and conventional method. A well known silica coupling agent bis(3-triethoxysilyl propyl) tetrasulfide was found to affect the curing characteristics and mechanical properties of SBR/RR vulcanizate. Here, the effect of RR on silica reinforcement was studied for different SBR/RR blend system. Silica incorporation by conventional mechanical mixing in absence of TESPT showed a much higher tensile properties than that of silica incorporated by the in situ sol-gel reaction of tetraethoxy silane both in presence and absence of TESPT. Studies of equilibrium swelling in a hydrocarbon solvent were also carried out. ATR study indicates that RR forms bond with silica particles due to the presence of active functional site on RR. The amount of silica incorporated by sol-gel reaction was determined through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies further indicate the coherency and homogeneity in the silica filled SBR/RR vulcanizate.
