Since its' introduction in 2017, Distal Transradial Access (dTRA) has shown it's advantages over conventional Transradial Approach in terms of risk with Radial Artery Occlusion (RAO) and with the comfort level for both the patient and operator. A large number of patients requiring subsequent intervention gets much benefit with this new technique of Radial Artery (RA) preservation, as it is a refinement of the conventional approach. On the other hand, the most challenging part it has is the supreme level of expertise for a successful puncture for the advancement with the procedure. Still, this new technique has been obtained by the Interventionists world wide with the simultaneous study on it to make the distal transradial access as a default access site for routine Coronary Angiography (CAG) and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). For evaluation with the real world feasibility and safety along with the comfort for both the operator and patient, this study has been conducted.

Background: There is limited data on feasibility and safety of coronary interventions performed using radial artery at anatomical snuffbox as vascular access point in South Asian region. Our study attempts to evaluate the feasibility and safety of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention using transradial access at anatomical snuffbox.Methods: Transradial access at anatomical snuffbox was attempted in 128 consecutive patients, who were planned for coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention. Success in vascular access, completion of planned procedure and complications encountered, including patency of radial artery after the procedure, were investigated. Results: A total of 128 patients (76 males [59.4%]; 52 females [40.6%]) between 44-78 years of age (mean age, 59.0 +/- 10.2 years) were included in the study. Distal radial artery puncture and sheath placement was successful in all patients however planned procedure was completed in 126 (98.4%) patients. Total 90 coronary angiographies and 36 percutaneous coronary interventions were performed of which five were primary percutaneous coronary intervention. We encountered brachial artery spasm among two patient (1.5%) and significant pain and swelling among three patients (2.3%). No bleeding complication, numbness or parasthesia were observed on follow-up. Patients had average pain rating of 2.4+/- 1.1 in visual analogue pain rating scale. There were no instances of radial artery occlusion after the procedure.Conclusions: Distal radial artery, at anatomical snuffbox, is a safe and feasible alternative vascular access site for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention.

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.

Background- Although a total coronary occlusion is identified approximately in one third of the diagnostic cardiac catheterizations, still an attempted revascularization of total occlusion accounts for less than 8% of all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO) is one of the major challenges in interventional cardiology. It is now an well-accepted revascularization procedure.  Methods: It was a prospective observational study conducted in National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Dhaka, from July 2004 to June 2005. 50 consecutive patients with chronic total occlusion undergoing PCI were included in the study. Patients were observed during procedure and during the hospital stay. Result: The mean age of the patients was 46.7 ± 9.3 and 48.0% were in the age range of 45-54 years. 24 patients had post MI angina, 20 patients had chronic stable angina and 6 patients had unstable angina. Technical success was in 98% cases and procedural success was in 94% cases. One patient developed vessel perforation and was treated by prolonged balloon inflation. There was no death or STEMI and only 2 patients developed NSTEMI. Conclusion: In our study with the use of available facilities PCI in CTOs was possible with a high success rate. But dealing of more complicated lesion will require more improved technology and hardware. A study with larger number of patients and longer duration of follow up to determine the efficacy of the procedure in improving morbidity and mortality is needed.

Objective: To compare the feasibility and safety between right distal radial artery access and right radial artery accessin patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: On the basis of arterial access, 113 patients who underwent CAG or PCI in Kunshan Hospital of TraditionalChinese Medicine between January and October 2018 were divided into two groups: a right distal radial artery group (52 patients) and a right radial artery group (61 patients). We collected general information, the number of puncture attempts, access times, postoperative compression time, and complications.Results: The general characteristics, rate of successful radial artery puncture, and rate of successful catheter placement inthe two groups were not different. The right radial artery group had fewer puncture attempts (1.26 ± 0.44 times vs. 2.19 ± 0.53times, P = 0.001) and a shorter access time (3.23 ± 0.86 min vs. 4.77 ± 1.49 min, P = 0.001) than the right distal radial arterygroup. However, the postoperative compression time in the right distal radial artery group was shorter (3.44 ± 0.9 h vs.7.16 ± 1.21 h, P = 0.001). Two cases of bleeding, four cases of hematoma, and one case of artery occlusion in the right radialartery group and one case of hematoma in the right distal artery group occurred before discharge. The rate of total complicationsin the right distal radial artery group was lower than in the right radial artery group (1.93% vs. 11.48%, P = 0.048).Conclusion: CAG or PCI through the right distal radial artery is feasible and safe.
