The transradial approach (TRA) is the recommended technique for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome, according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines. There is a large body of evidence showing reduction in bleeding and mortality when the TRA is used. The TRA is also more convenient for patients, by allowing early mobilisation. Finally, by facilitating patient turnover and fast (re)transfer after the procedure, the TRA enables operators to meet the current recommendations of early invasive therapy in both ST and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. On the other hand, the TRA is technically more challenging than the transfemoral approach (TFA) and requires longer learning curve, which hinders its uptake by low-volume operators/centres. Nevertheless, in the hands of experienced high-volume operators, such as at Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis (OLVG) Amsterdam, the TRA achieves comparable procedural outcomes and favourable clinical results compared with the TFA, as it is in cases of primary PCI.

Radial Artery Occlusion

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.

The Mean

Background and Objective: Trans-radial approach of coronary catheterization has been increasingly used as an alternative to transfemoral approach due to less vascular complications, earlier ambulation and improved patient comfort. The aim of the study was to compare procedural and post procedural vascular complications in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention by trans-radial and transfemoral approach. Methods: This observational comparative study was conducted in the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases between June 2015 to May 2016. A total of 180 patients were categorized into two groups according to the approach of the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Group I comprising 90 patients who underwent trans-radial PCI and group II consists of 90 patients who underwent transfemoral PCI. Patients with an abnormal Allen’s test, acute coronary syndrome, history of coronary artery bypass surgery, chronic renal insufficiency or older age (>75 years) were excluded. Results: Patient demographics were the same in both groups. The mean procedural time in min (37.44±5.13 vs 34.14±4.42, p=0.004) and fluoroscopy time in min (21.62±4.11 vs 17.55±2.78, p=0.02) were more in TR-PCI group but the mean haemostasis time in min (7.58±1.11 vs 15.59±3.33, p=0.005) and ambulation time in hour (0.00±0.00 vs 15.59±3.33, p=<0.001) were more in TF-PCI group. Significant arterial spasm following puncture (6.7% vs 0%, p=0.01) were found in trans-radial group but access site bleeding during procedure (2.2% vs 8.9%, p=0.04) were more in TF-PCI group. After the procedure major hematoma (0% vs 4.4%, p=0.04), minor hematoma (5.7% vs 14.4%, p=0.04) and ecchymosis (4.4% vs 13.3%) were significant in TF-PCI group but vessel occlusion (5.7% vs 0%, p=0.02) were significant in TR-PCI group. The mean hospital stays, day (1.64±0.42 vs 2.54±0.62) were more in TF-PCI group. Conclusion: TR-PCI is safe in respect of procedural and post procedural vascular complications. Trans-radial procedure leads to improved quality of life after the procedure and thus gives much comfort to the patient. It also shortened mean duration of hospital stay. So, trans-radial approach is an attractive alternative to conventional transfemoral approach. Bangladesh Heart Journal 2019; 34(2) : 86-91
