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.

<p><strong>Aim</strong>. The analyses of radial artery patency during hospitalisation in patients with acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary interventions were performed using three options of radial approaches, i.e. traditional, classical and dorsopalmar distal radial approaches.</p><p><strong>Methods</strong>. Patients (n = 178) with acute coronary syndrome on whom endovascular procedure by the traditional and two options of distal radial approach were performed met the entry criteria. The classical distal radial approach was performed within an anatomic snuffbox in 65 patients (36.5%), and the dorsopalmar type was performed in 29 patients (16.3%); the traditional radial approach was performed in 84 patients (47.2%). On completion of the percutaneous coronary interventions and final radial artery angiography, hemostasis was performed with bandage application for 6 h. From <!-- x-tinymce/html-mce_16411137711604383874135 -->the 5<sup>th</sup> to the 7<sup>th</sup> day after intervention, examination, palpation and ultrasound duplex scan were performed in every patient.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>. Examination, palpation and ultrasound duplex scan performed from the 5th to 7th day after intervention revealed 3 cases (1.7%) of forearm radial artery occlusion (high type). All the 3 cases were in the traditional radial approach group. Access side radial artery occlusion (at the anatomical snuffbox and the dorsum of the plant [local type]) with saved blood supplement on the forearm was registered in the classical distal radial approach group in 4 cases (2.3%). There were no cases of access side radial artery occlusion in the dorsopalmar group.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>. The use of the distal radial approach for primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome definitely reduces the risk of radial artery occlusion of the forearm, whereas the dorsopalmar distal radial approach can be considered as a basic approach.</p><p>Received 11 May 2020.

Abstract Purpose We investigated the differences between a sheathless guiding catheter and a Glidesheath slender/guiding catheter combination regarding access-site complications in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods We enrolled consecutive 1108 patients undergoing transradial primary PCI for ACS at our hospital using either a 7.5-Fr sheathless guiding catheter (Sheathless group) or a 7-Fr Glidesheath slender/7-Fr guiding catheter combination (Glidesheath group); 1:1 propensity score matching was performed, and 718 subjects (359 in each group) were included in the propensity-matched sample. Results Compared with the Sheathless group, the Glidesheath group had significantly less frequent ultrasound-diagnosed radial artery occlusion at 30 days (Sheathless: 4.7% vs. Glidesheath: 1.4%, p=0.015). No significant differences were observed in severe radial spasm (Sheathless: 1.4% vs. Glidesheath: 2.0%, p=0.77) or access-site bleeding (Sheathless: 9.8% vs. Glidesheath: 8.6%, p=0.70). Conclusion Thus, 7-Fr Glidesheath slender/7-Fr guiding catheter combination is clearly more advantageous than 7.5-Fr sheathless guiding catheters for decreased risk of radial artery occlusion in transradial PCI for ACS. “Sheathless” vs. “Glidesheath slender” Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
