Retrograde recanalization of radial artery occlusion via the distal transradial artery: A single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Radial artery occlusion (RAO) often occurs after catheterization when using a transradial artery approach.

Objective

This prospective study assessed the success and feasibility of accessing the distal transradial artery (dTRA) for retrograde recanalization of RAO.

Methods

From June 2019 to December 2021, 44 consecutive patients who had undergone cardiac catheterization resulting in RAO were given retrograde recanalization via the dTRA. According to the result of the procedure (primary endpoint), patients' cases were analyzed as successful or failed. Rates of post-operative patency and adverse events were calculated up to 12 months.

Results

The procedural success rate was 88.6%. Compared with the successful group, a significantly higher percentage of
