Feasibility of Distal Radial Access in High Bleeding Risk Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds and objectives

The distal radial access (DRA), a potential alternative to the trans-radial approach (TRA), may offer advantages in terms of access site complications due to its smaller vessel diameter, especially for high bleeding risk (HBR) patients. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of DRA in HBR patients.

Methods

Based on data from the KODRA registry, a prospective, multicenter cohort, this study analyzed 1,586 patients who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via DRA. Patients were categorized into HBR and non-HBR groups. The primary endpoint of the study is DRA-related bleeding, and the secondary endpoints of the study are overall access site complications and each component of the access site complications. To reduce th
