Distal Radial Access and Women: Implications for Access Site Outcomes in Coronary Procedures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We investigated the sex-specific variations in distal radial access (DRA)-associated outcomes, as well as the factors influencing these outcomes, by utilizing a comprehensive real-world registry.

Methods

In this post-hoc analysis of the KODRA (Korean Prospective Registry for Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Distal Radial Approach) trial, we selected 4608 patients who underwent successful coronary procedures, including percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary angiography, via DRA. Primary end points were overall DRA site outcomes including bleeding, radial artery occlusion, tenderness, hand edema, numbness, perforation, and dissection. We performed both propensity score matching and multivariable logistic regression to evaluate sex-specific differences i
