Background/Aims: While distal radial artery (DRA) access is increasingly being used for diagnostic coronary angiography, limited information is available regarding DRA size. We aimed to determine the DRA reference diameters of Korean patients and identify the predictors of DRA diameter < 2.3 mm.Methods: The outer bilateral DRA diameters were assessed using a linear ultrasound probe in 1,162 consecutive patients who underwent transthoracic echocardiography. The DRA diameter was measured by the perpendicular angle in the dorsum of the hand, and the average values were compared by sex. DRA diameter < 2.3 mm was defined as unsuitable for routine diagnostic coronary angiography using a 5 Fr introducer sheath.Results: The mean DRA diameters were 2.31 ± 0.43 mm (right) and 2.35 ± 0.45 mm (left). The DRA was smaller in women than men (right: 2.15 ± 0.38 mm vs. 2.43 ± 0.44 mm, p < 0.001; left: 2.18 ± 0.39 mm vs. 2.47 ± 0.45 mm, p < 0.001). The DRA diameter was approximately 20% smaller than the radial artery diameter. A total of 630 (54.2%) and 574 (49.4%) patients had DRA diameter < 2.3 mm in the right and left hands, respectively. Female sex, low body mass index (BMI), and low body surface area (BSA) were significant predictors of DRA diameter < 2.3 mm.Conclusions: We provided reference DRA diameters for Korean patients. Approximately 50% of the studied patients had DRA diameter < 2.3 mm. Female sex, low BMI, and low BSA remained significant predictors of DRA diameter < 2.3 mm.

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.

We sought to compare the safety and efficiency of Tiger-2 in the right radial and Judkins catheter in the left radial access. We retrospectively collected data of 487 patients, involving 172 patients after coronary angiography with Judkins on the left radial artery and 315 patients with Tiger-2 on the right radial artery access. There were no differences in baseline characteristics, except for hypertension ratio and mean age. There was a difference in pulse absence on the radial artery. The volume of contrast used was higher in the Judkins group. Both groups differed in the amount of drugs administered (NTG and heparin). Fluorescence times were comparable between groups. Radiation dosage and AK was significantly greater in the Tiger-2 group. The Tiger-2 catheters were significantly more often changed to another type of catheter (100 changes) than the Judkins (12 changes). However, there was no statistical difference in access site change. Judkins with left radial access seems to be a safer option because of the lower radiation exposure and less incidence of complications than Tiger-2 with right radial access, however, it requires a higher volume of contrast.

Distal Radial Artery

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.

Blood Aspiration

Radial artery spasm is a known complication of transradial cardiac catheterization. However, severe spasm with sheath entrapment is rare. We describe such a case, and the condition's response to an alternative removal method after conventional efforts failed. A 68-year-old man presented for coronary angiography. We introduced a 5F sheath into the right radial artery, but, because of severe arterial spasm, we could not aspirate blood from the sheath or retract it. We sedated the patient and waited for the spasm to subside; however, the radial sheath remained entrapped. Nitroglycerin injection enabled blood aspiration and vasodilator injection, but not sheath removal. Finally, we injected ViperSlide lubricant into the sheath for its rapid, easy extraction. When sedation and vasodilator therapy fail, we recommend using ViperSlide for radial sheath removal before applying nerve block or general anesthesia.

The radial artery access has gained popularity as a method of diagnostic coronary catheterization compared to femoral artery puncture in terms of vascular complications and early ambulation. However, very rare complication like radial artery pseudoaneurysm may occur following cardiac catheterization which may give rise to serious consequences. Here, we report a patient with radial pseudoaneurysm following diagnostic coronary angiography. Adequate and correct methodology of compression of radial artery following puncture for maintaining hemostasis is the key to prevention.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmsn.v10i3.12776 Journal of College of Medical Sciences-Nepal, 2014, Vol-10, No-3, 48-50
