Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Percutaneous endovascular treatment of peripheral vascular disease with small-caliber short sheaths may lead to device removal difficulties. A 50-year-old woman on hemodialysis underwent endovascular intervention for right common femoral artery stenosis, via the right brachial artery. A 4-Fr short sheath was used for the procedure owing to a previous hematoma at the puncture site. However, the balloon catheter could not cross the calcified lesion and was difficult to remove. A microcatheter was inserted and withdrawn, but the guidewire was kinked and could not be retrieved. Surgical retrieval of the guidewire and balloon catheter was performed. The kinked guidewire and microcatheter had migrated outside the vessel. In peripheral vascular intervention, the use of a long sheath in the brachial artery approach is important. Forcible removal of a difficult-to-remove catheter may cause further vascular damage. Therefore, it is essential to stop immediately and consider surgical treatment.
