Direct stenting was associated with decreased use of balloons (0.15 vs 1.09 balloons/lesion treated) and with a trend toward a reduction of procedure time (22.7 ± 15.0 vs 25.6 ± 18.2 minutes; p = 0.073).
Several companies have invested on the research and development of ablation catheters aiming both at the reduction of procedure time as well as the improvement of the quality of the created lesions, especially with 'smart'catheters which can appreciate wall contact quality.
26 A stent that decreases revascularisation rates will therefore result in a reduction of procedure related myocardial infarctions but this will result in a maximum reduction of the relative risk of about 4%, whereas the actually observed average relative risk reduction was 19%. 1 Other mechanisms will therefore have to be considered.
Beside a reduction of procedure time, a reduced incidence of incorrect drillings prevents weakening of the lateral cortex and of the cancellous bone in the femoral neck and thereby may reduce the risk for displacement of the femoral neck screw [ 5, 12].
This fact also implies an overall cost reduction of the procedure that has been reported to be of 35 50 % [8].
A drastic reduction of the procedure time (55 min versus 8 h) is achieved with similar reproducibility to that provided by the conventional method.
A significant (R2 = 0.88) correlation between baseflow index and the drainage time scale for the catchments underscores the physical basis of the methodology and also enables the reduction of the procedure by one step, omitting recession flow analysis.
This new device fastens right pulmonary vein isolation with significant reduction of the procedure duration and radiofrequency delivery time compared to standard magnetic navigation (catheter-only advancement).
The reduction of CXL procedure duration may be achieved through a shorter riboflavin administration time with improved corneal penetration (e.g., thanks to additional iontophoresis) or through the application of higher UV doses (accelerated cross-linking, fast cross-linking, and rapid cross-linking).
The availability of NIPT is already leading to a considerable reduction of invasive procedures in the USA, both as a result of women choosing NIPT over direct access to invasive procedures and of the lower false positive rate of NIPT as compared with other first-tier tests.
From 2013 to 2014, the rate of C-sections among low-risk moms in California dropped from 27.3% to 26.1%, a reduction of 1,219 procedures statewide, according to data released last month by the California Hospital Assessment and Reporting Task Force and analyzed by The Times.
