Feasibility and safety of the successive use of distal transradial access for coronary angiography and intervention in the same arm.

ABSTRACT: Distal transradial access (dTRA) is a novel alternative to conventional radial artery access for coronary catheterization. However, the feasibility and safety of repeated use of dTRA have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the repeated use of dTRA for coronary angiography and intervention in the same arm. A total of 1717 patients underwent angiography or angioplasty via dTRA. We retrospectively analyzed the catheterization records of patients who underwent repeated puncture of the distal radial artery in the same arm. The incidence of successive applications of dTRA and the reasons for dropout were retrospectively investigated. A total of 416 patients, including three who underwent coronary catheterization with the bilateral dTRA in the in
