Abstract Introduction The primary purpose of this multicenter prospective register was to evaluate the success and complication rate of different access sites for subclavian artery intervention. Secondary purpose was to investigate the safety of the distal radial artery access for subclavian artery intervention. Methods The clinical and angiographic data of 223 consecutive patients with symptomatic subclavian and anonym artery stenosis treated via transradial (TR), transbrachial (TB) and transfemoral (TF) access between 2015 and 2019 were evaluated in a multicenter registry. The exclusion criteria of the intervention was the acute proximal subclavian artery thrombosis. Primary endpoint: angiographic outcome of the subclavian and anonym artery intervention, rate of major and minor access site complications. Secondary endpoints: procedural complications, consumption of the angioplasty equipment, cross over rate to another puncture site and hospitalization in days. Results The procedure was successful in 182/184 in TR, in 5/5 in TB and in 32/32 patients in TF group. The cross over rate in the TR, TB and TF group was 0%. Chronic total occlusion recanalization was successful in 75/77 cases in TR, and 15/15 cases in the TF group. Contrast consumption was 152±106 ml in TR, 99±22.5 ml in TB and 152±95 in TF group, respectively (p=ns). Cummulativ dose was 602±1205 mGray in RA, 455±210 mGray in BA and 1089±1674 mGray in FA group (p<0.05). Procedural complications occurred in 1/184 (0.5%) case in RA group, in 0 case (0%) in BA group and in 4/32 cases (12.5%) in the FA group (p<0.05). Major access site complication were detected in 3 patients (1.6%) in RA, in 1 patient in BA (20%) and in 1 patient in FA group (3.1%) (p<0.05). Minor access site complication were encountered in 9 patients in the RA (4.8%), in 1 patient in the BA (20%) and in 8 patients in the FA group (25%) (p<0.05). Distal radial access was used in 29 cases and proximal radial access in 155 patients. The rate of radial artery occlusion in proximal and distal radial group was 5.1% and 0% (p<0.05). Conclusions Subclavian artery intervention can be safely and effectively performed using radial access with acceptable morbidity and high technical success. Femoral and brachial access is associated with more access site complications than radial artery access. Distal radial access is associated with less radial artery occlusion than proximal radial artery access. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Radial Artery Occlusion

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> Asymptomatic radial artery occlusion remains the most common complication in transradial coronary interventional procedure. To prevent radial artery occlusion, distal transradial access (dTRA) has been suggested recently. In this article, we aim to describe our experience and to assess feasibility and safety of this new access site for routine coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We retrospective analyzed 1,063 consecutive patients who were assigned to undergo CAG or procedural PCI through dTRA between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2019 at Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University. The size of radial sheath used was 5 or 6 French. The sheath was removed at procedure termination, and hemostasis was obtained by compression bandage with gauze. The success rate of dTRA access defined by successful radial artery cannulation on the first dTRA side attempted, the cause of access failure, the hemostasis duration, the incidence of post-catheterization radial artery occlusion, and the other access-related complications including hematoma of forearm and thumb numbness were assessed. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Radial artery cannulation via dTRA was successful in 953 of 1,063 patients with a success rate of 89.7%. Mean age of successful cases was 64.6 ± 11.2 years (26–94 years) with 339 (35.6%) women. A total of 363 (38.1%) cases were PCI. Among them, 95 cases (10%) underwent urgent PCI, including primary PCI in 64 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and immediate PCI (&#x3c;2 h from hospital admission) in 31 patients with very high-risk non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. A total of 269 (28.2%) cases were via left dTRA. The 6 French sheath was used in 602 (63.2%) cases. Hemostasis was obtained within 2 h in 853 (89.5%) patients. There were 110 (10.3%) procedural failures: 59 (5.6%) cases of artery puncture failure, 49 (4.9%) cases of guide wire insertion failure, and 2 (0.2%) cases of sheath insertion failure. Complications potentially related to distal radial access included radial artery occlusion at the access site (13 cases, 1.4%), forearm radial artery occlusion (4 cases, 0.4%), hematoma of forearm (5 cases, 0.5%), and transient thumb numbness (2 cases, 0.2%). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> dTRA is a feasible and safe access and can be used as a rational alternative to traditional radial access for routine coronary interventional procedure.

Radial Artery Occlusion

Introduction: Sheathless transradial access, by decreasing the profile of hardware, is expected to lower the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Hypothesis: We sought to compare the risk of RAO in patients undergoing coronary intervention with introducer sheath (SG) or without introducer sheath (SLG). Methods: 1251 consecutive patients undergoing 6 French percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013 in Scranton, PA, formed the study cohort. Radial artery patency was assessed using reverse Barbeau’s test and RAO was confirmed by ultrasonography. Unadjusted, adjusted and propensity matched association between type of radial access (SG vs SLG) and RAO were assessed using logistic regression analysis. Results: Mean age was 65 years, 63% were men 37% were diabetics. 78% attained patent hemostasis (PH). Patients in SG had lower pre-discharge RAO [unadjusted (OR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.21 - 0.46, P < 0.001), adjusted (OR: 0.10, 95% CI: 0.05 - 0.20, P < 0.001) and propensity matched (OR: 0.20, 95% CI: 0.13 - 0.32, P < 0.001)], 24 hours RAO [unadjusted (OR: 0.20, 95% CI: 0.12 - 0.34, P < 0.001), adjusted (OR: 0.12, 95% CI: 0.06 - 0.24, P < 0.001) and propensity matched (OR: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.07 - 0.25, P < 0.001)] and 30 day RAO [unadjusted (OR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.14 - 0.54, P < 0.001), adjusted (OR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.10 - 0.50, P < 0.001) and propensity matched (OR: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.10 - 0.40, P < 0.001)], compared to those in SLG. Spontaneous recanalization rates were significantly higher in SG compared to SLG at 24 hours (62% Vs 38%, P = 0.007) but similar at 30 days (38% Vs 50%, P = 0.338) post PCI. Diabetes diagnosis was an effect modifier for RAO at pre-discharge, 24 hours and 30 days post PCI. Conclusions: Sheath use during radial access for PCI, despite diametrically increasing hardware profile, is associated with less RAO, likely by reducing friction induced intimal trauma. Diabetes is an effect modifier in this association.
