Summary

The transradial route for arteriography offers a safe and effective alternative to traditional methods, demonstrating a low complication rate. This technique is suitable for outpatient peripheral angiography, especially for high-risk patients.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Cardiovascular Imaging

Background:

  • Traditional arteriography often utilizes transfemoral or brachial approaches.
  • These methods carry potential risks, particularly in patients with bleeding predispositions.
  • The transradial approach is increasingly explored for vascular interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the transradial route for arteriography.
  • To assess the feasibility of this approach for outpatient peripheral angiography.
  • To compare complication rates with conventional arteriography methods.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-five arteriographies were performed using a 5F, 130cm catheter via the transradial route.
  • Radial artery patency was confirmed using the Allen test prior to puncture.

  • Imaging included the thoracic aorta, carotid arteries, infrarenal aorta, and pelvic/leg arteries.

    • Main Results:

    • High-quality imaging was achieved for all targeted arterial segments.
    • The transradial approach demonstrated a very low rate of complications.
    • Technical failure rates were also minimal, indicating high procedural success.

    Conclusions:

    • The transradial route is a viable and safe alternative for arteriography.
    • It is particularly advantageous for outpatient peripheral angiography.
    • This method is recommended for patients with high hemorrhagic risk or when transfemoral access is not feasible.
