Comparison of radial artery occlusion between traditional radial access and distal radial access for coronary angiography and intervention: A prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The radial approach is now recommended as the default strategy in diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most common complication that limits subsequent angiographic procedures through this access. Recently, distal radial access (DRA) has been recommended as an alternative access site. Despite lower RAO rates in DRA in some recent clinical trials, concerns remain regarding possible complications and limitations due to the small size of the distal radial artery.

Objective

The present study aimed to compare traditional radial access (TRA) and DRA concerning RAO in percutaneous coronary procedures.

Methods

In the present prospective cohort study, percutaneous coronary procedures were perform
