[Distal transradial access for non-coronary endovascular restrictions]

To evaluate the possibility of using distal transradial access in routine practice for emergency and elective non-coronary endovascular interventions.

The results of the use of distal transradial access were studied in patients who underwent endovascular interventions for gastrointestinal bleeding, renal bleeding in a complicated course of angiomyolipoma, traumatic injury to the spleen accompanied by bleeding, uterine leiomyomas, abnormal uterine bleeding, ectopic pregnancy, bleeding in cancer process in the pelvic organs. The study included 78 patients.

The use of distal transradial access demonstrated the results comparable to those of the access to the radial artery in the classical form.

The distal transradial approach is a reliable and safe site of arterial access in patients who require strict control of hemostasis in combination with minimal risk of bleeding, also making it possible to maintain patency of the radial artery for future use as an arterial conduit.
