Percutaneous coronary interventions via the radial artery are feasible and safe. This approach demonstrated a high success rate with a low incidence of complications in 103 patients undergoing coronary procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Vascular Access

Background:

  • Transradial access is an alternative to transfemoral access for coronary procedures.
  • Assessing the safety and efficacy of radial artery access is crucial for interventional cardiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing coronary interventions using the radial artery.
  • To determine the complication rates associated with transradial percutaneous coronary interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A study of 103 patients (87% male, age 38-86) undergoing coronary interventions.
  • Inclusion criteria included adequate radial pulse, ulnar pulse, and good collateral flow (Allen's test).
  • Procedures included angioplasty and stenting of various coronary arteries and bypass grafts.

Main Results:

  • Vascular access was successful in 94% of patients.
  • Coronary interventions were performed for diverse indications including acute myocardial infarction, unstable and stable angina.
  • High success rates were achieved: 100% for stent deployment and 96% for balloon angioplasty, with low complication rates (1% MI, 2% hematoma, 2% pulse loss).

Conclusions:

  • The radial artery approach is a practical and safe method for percutaneous coronary interventions.
  • Transradial access offers a low complication profile, making it a viable option for coronary procedures.
