Summary
Transradial catheterization can cause vascular and orthopedic issues like radial artery occlusion. This review guides nonsurgical and surgical treatments for these transradial access complications.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Interventions
- Vascular Surgery
- Hand Surgery
Background:
- Transradial catheterization and cannulation are common procedures.
- These procedures carry risks of vascular, infectious, and orthopedic complications.
- Hand surgeons frequently manage these complications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current evidence on managing complications from transradial access.
- To guide nonsurgical and surgical treatment decisions.
- To inform prevention strategies for these complications.
Main Methods:
- Review of recent scientific literature.
- Analysis of evidence regarding nonsurgical interventions.
- Analysis of evidence regarding surgical interventions.
Main Results:
- Common complications include radial artery occlusion, hematoma, laceration, pseudoaneurysm, abscess, and compartment syndrome.
- Evidence guides the choice between conservative and operative management.
- Prevention strategies are crucial for patient safety.
Conclusions:
- Effective management strategies exist for transradial access complications.
- Nonsurgical and surgical options should be tailored to the specific complication.
- Further research may refine prevention and treatment protocols.

Right Heart Catheterization: An OverviewRight heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that measures right-sided cardiac and pulmonary artery pressures, calculates cardiac output, and identifies intracardiac shunts. It provides detailed hemodynamic data essential for diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension.Access SitesCommon access sites for right heart catheterization include the internal jugular vein in the neck region, the...

677
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...
