Introduction: Distal radial access (dRA) has recently gained global popularity as an alternative access route for vascular procedures. Among the benefits of dRA are the low risk of entry site bleeding complications, the low rate of radial artery occlusion, and improved patient and operator comfort. The aim of this large multicenter registry was to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of dRA in a wide variety of routine procedures in the catheterization laboratory, ranging from coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention to peripheral procedures. Methods: The study comprised 1240 patients who underwent coronary angiography, PCI or noncoronary procedures through dRA in two Hungarian centers from January 2019 to April 2021. Baseline patient characteristics, number and duration of arterial punctures, procedural success rate, crossover rate, postoperative compression time, complications, hospitalization duration, and different learning curves were analyzed. Results: The average patient age was 66.4 years, with 66.8% of patients being male. The majority of patients (74.04%) underwent a coronary procedure, whereas 25.96% were involved in noncoronary interventions. dRA was successfully punctured in 97% of all patients, in all cases with ultrasound guidance. Access site crossover was performed in 2.58% of the patients, mainly via the contralateral dRA. After experiencing 150 cases, the dRA success rate plateaued at >96%. Our dedicated dRA step-by step protocol resulted in high open radial artery (RA) rates: distal and proximal RA pulses were palpable in 99.68% of all patients at hospital discharge. The rate of minor vascular complications was low (1.5%). A threshold of 50 cases was sufficient for already skilled radial operators to establish a reliable procedural method of dRA access. Conclusion: The implementation of distal radial artery access in the everyday routine of a catheterization laboratory for coronary and noncoronary interventions is feasible and safe with an acceptable learning curve.

Early experience with ultrasound guided distal trans-radial access in the anatomical snuffbox in coronary angiography and intervention. Objective: We aimed to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of the ultrasound guided distal trans-radial coronary angiography and intervention. Methods: Patients assigned to one operator program underwent diagnostic or procedural intervention through distal trans-radial approach in the anatomical snuffbox between January 2018 and May 2018. All of patients had palpable artery in their distal radial artery. The operator did the coronary procedure via distal radial access at anatomical snuffbox. When the pulse was weak or the target artery was very small, the operator punctured under ultrasound guidance (V-scan with dual probe, GE heathcare, USA) Results: 56 patients were enrolled. Mean age of patients was 65.1 years old and 68% were male. About 70% of patients were presented with stable angina feature. In diagnostic procedure, 4F (3, 5.6%) or 5F (29, 54.7%) sheath was used and we did coronary intervention via 6F (21, 39.6%) Sheath. Ultrasound guided puncture was done for 33 patients (58.9%). Overall Success rate of distal trans-radial angiography and intervention was 94.6% (3 failed cases). Success rate of ultrasound guided procedure was 97% (only 1 failed case). Left distal radial puncture was done for 18 patients (33.9%). 16% of patients had chronic kidney disease, especially end stage renal disease (11%) to preserve radial artery which was potential candidate of arteriovenous fistulae for dialysis. There was no BARC type 2-5 bleeding in hospital stay and follow up at out-patient clinic. Conclusion: Ultra sound guided distal radial approach is feasible and safe as a good alternative technique for coronary angiography and interventions.

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.

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 Radial access has great advantages in terms of the frequency of complications, but it has one specific complication - radial artery occlusion (RAO). This complication often does not manifest itself in any way; however, it limits the use of access for the future interventions. Aim To compare methods of short and traditional hemostasis and to identify the main predictors of RAO after radial access. Materials and methods During the period from 2012 to 2018, 2000 patients were included in the study, which consisted of two parts: prospective - 1000 patients who underwent coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stable coronary artery disease, and retrospective part of the study, which included 1000 patients admitted for PCI from other clinics. In a prospective study, patients were divided into two groups: after coronary angiography and PCI, respectively (n=500 in the coronary angiography group and n=500 in the PCI group), and then randomized. Hemostatic bandages in the first group of patients (n=250) were removed after 12–24 hours, in the second group (n=250) - after 4±1 hours. When the occlusion of the radial artery was detected, all patients underwent an hour-long compression of the ipsilateral ulnar artery to recanalize acute RAO. Results The frequency of RAO in the retrospective part of the study was 21.8%. The frequency of RAO in the prospective part of the study was 10.2% with a traditional time hemostasis and 1.4% with a short-time compression (P<0.001). Predictors of the RAO are illustrated in table 1. Predictors of bleeding were PCI (OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.01–0.67, P=0.05) and weight (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.02–1.18, P=0.01). Table 1. Predictors of RAO Variables Odds ratio 95% Confidential interval Significance, P Traditional-time hemostasis 8.78 4.2–21.5 <0.001 Diabetes mellitus+smoking 18.1 12.7–26.7 <0.001 Diabetes mellitus 0.45 0.25–0.83 0.009 Body mass index 0.95 0.91–0.99 0.02 Male 1.75 1.01–3.18 0.05 Protein C 0,86 0,75–0,96 0,01 Conclusion Careful examination of the patient for detecting RAO before and after interventions is essential. Short hemostasis with compression of the ipsilateral ulnar artery reduce the frequency of RAO. For short-time hemostasis, special attention should be paid to patients after PCI and with low BMI, as far as these factors are associated with a greater risk of bleeding after removal of the compression bandage.

IntroductionThe radial artery has become the standard access site for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome, because of less access site related bleeding complications. Patients with complex coronary lesions are under-represented in randomised trials comparing radial with femoral access with regard to safety and efficacy. The femoral artery is currently the most applied access site in patients with complex coronary lesions, especially when large bore guiding catheters are required. With slender technology, transradial PCI may be increasingly applied in patients with complex coronary lesions when large bore guiding catheters are mandatory and might be a safer alternative as compared with the transfemoral approach.Methods and analysisA total of 388 patients undergoing complex PCI will be randomised to radial 7 French access with Terumo Glidesheath Slender (Terumo, Japan) or femoral 7 French access as comparator. The primary outcome is the incidence of the composite end point of clinically relevant access site related bleeding and/or vascular complications requiring intervention. Procedural success and major adverse cardiovascular events up to 1 month will also be compared between both groups.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval for the study was granted by the local Ethics Committee at each recruiting center (‘Medisch Ethische Toetsing Commissie Isala Zwolle’, ‘Commissie voor medische ethiek ZNA’, ‘Comité Medische Ethiek Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg’, ‘Comité d’éthique CHU-Charleroi-ISPPC’, ‘Commission cantonale d'éthique de la recherche CCER-Republique et Canton de Geneve’, ‘Ethik Kommission de Ärztekammer Nordrhein’ and ‘Riverside Research Ethics Committee’). The trial outcomes will be published in peer-reviewed journals of the concerned literature.Trial registration numberNCT03846752.

Abstract Background Clinical outcomes and characteristics of patients with lymphoma undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are unknown. Purpose To describe clinical characteristics and procedural outcomes in patients that underwent PCI and had a concurrent diagnosis of Hodgkin (HL) or non-Hodgkin (NHL) lymphoma and compare risks of complications and in-hospital mortality in lymphoma subtypes to patients without lymphoma. Methods A total of 6,413,175 PCI procedures undertaken in the United States between 2004 and 2014 in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample were included in the analysis. Multivariable regression analysis was performed in order to examine the association between lymphoma diagnosis and clinical outcomes post-PCI including complications and in-hospital mortality. Results Patients with lymphoma generally had a significantly higher incidence of post-PCI complications and in-hospital mortality compared to patients without lymphoma (Figure 1). Patients with lymphoma were more likely to experience in-hospital mortality (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.20–1.49), stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.47–1.73), and any in-hospital complication (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.14–1.25), following PCI. In the lymphoma subtype-analysis, diagnosis of HL was associated with an increased likelihood of in-hospital death (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.17–1.48), any in-hospital complication (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.14–1,26), bleeding complications (OR 1.12 95% CI 1.05–1.19) and vascular complications (OR 1.10 95% CI 1.03–1.17) while these risks were not significantly associated with NHL diagnosis. Finally, both types of lymphoma were associated with an increased likelihood of stroke/TIA following PCI, with this effect being twice greater for HL than NHL diagnosis (OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.52–1.81 and OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.06–1.66, respectively) (Table 1). Table 1. ORs for clinical outcomes Variable HL vs. No Lymphoma NHL vs. No Lymphoma Bleeding complications 1.12 (1.05–1.19) 1.07 (0.89–1.27) Vascular complications 1.10 (1.03–1.17) 1.13 (0.92–1.27) Cardiac complications 0.94 (0.85–1.03) 0.86 (0.68–1.11) Post-procedural stroke/TIA 1.66 (1.52–1.81) 1.33 (1.06–1.66) Any complication 1.20 (1.14–1.26) 1.04 (0.91–1.18) In-hospital mortality 1.31 (1.17–1.48) 0.89 (0.65–1.21) HL, Hodgkin's Lymphoma; NHL, non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma; TIA, Transient Ischemic Attack. Figure 1. Type of lymphoma and outcomes Conclusions While the incidence of lymphoma in the observed PCI cohort was low, a diagnosis of lymphoma was associated with an adverse prognosis following PCI, primarily in patients with a diagnosis of HL.
