Recently, the left distal radial approach (DRA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to be a feasible option, but there are limited data regarding the feasibility of performing bifurcation PCI via the left DRA. Therefore, this study aimed to describe our experience with the contemporary left DRA to perform PCI of bifurcation lesions. Between December 2017 and December 2019, we identified 106 patients treated with bifurcation PCI via the left DRA. We evaluated the success rate of PCI, access-site complications including major bleeding requiring surgery or transfusion, hematoma, distal and forearm radial artery occlusion, and 30-day mortality. Eleven patients (10.4%) treated with left main bifurcation and true bifurcations accounted for 39.6% of cases, with the left anterior descending artery/diagonal branch being the most frequent bifurcation site (57.5%, 61/106). PCI was performed using a 6-French guiding catheter in 101 (95.3%) cases. Successful PCI for bifurcation lesions via the left DRA was achieved in all 106 patients without access-site cross-over. There was no major bleeding, distal and forearm radial artery occlusion, forearm hematoma, or mortality at 30 days. The left DRA is a safe and feasible alternative access site for bifurcation PCI in selected patients.

Introduction: Radial artery occlusion may occur after percutaneous coronary intervention when done via transradial approach. The frequency of radial artery occlusion is almost nil in patients after PCI through transradial approach. Thus radial artery approach for PCI can be a good opportunity to conduct the procedure. Objective: To assess the frequency of radial artery occlusion after percutaneous coronary intervention through transradial approach in patients of acute coronary syndrome Material & Methods Study Design: Descriptive case study Settings: Department of Cardiology, Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore. Duration: Six months i.e. 1st July 2020 to 31st December 2020. Data Collection: Total 100 patients who underwent PCI through transradial approach 6 months ago were studied. All the selected patients then underwent Doppler scan to assess patency of radial artery. Radial artery occlusion was confirmed by when there was reduced flow in radial artery as compared to the adjacent side artery Results: In this study, the mean age of patients was 54.56 ± 8.96 years. There were 43 (43%) males and 57 (57%) females. The frequency of radial artery occlusion in patients after PCI through transradial approach was seen in 3 (3%) of the patients. Conclusion: Results of this study demonstrates that the frequency of radial artery occlusion is almost nil in patients after PCI through transradial approach. Thus radial artery approach for PCI can be a good opportunity to conduct the procedure. Key Words: Radial artery Occlusion, Transradial approach, percutaneous coronary intervention, acute coronary syndrome

Abstract Background Radial artery occlusion is a common complication after coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention via the transradial access. In recent years, coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention via the distal transradial access has gradually emerged, but recanalization of the occluded radial artery through the distal transradial access has rarely been reported. Case presentation A 67-year-old female with arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus was admitted to the hospital due to chest pain for three hours. She was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. After admission, the patient successfully underwent emergency coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention through the right transradial access. Radial artery occlusion was found after the operation, and recanalization was successfully performed through the right distal transradial access before discharge. Immediately after the operation and one month later, vascular ultrasonography showed that the antegrade flow was normal. Conclusions This report presents a case of radial artery occlusion after emergency coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention in which recanalization was successfully performed through the right distal transradial access. This case demonstrates that recanalization of a radial artery occlusion via the distal transradial access is safe and feasible.
