    Prolonged percutaneous radial artery cannulation (4-10 days) significantly increases risks of arterial occlusion and cannula dysfunction compared to shorter durations (1-3 days). This highlights the importance of monitoring for vascular complications after radial artery catheterization.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Medical Device Research

    Background:

    • Percutaneous radial artery cannulation is a common procedure for hemodynamic monitoring.
    • The duration of catheter dwell time may influence the incidence of vascular complications.
    • Optimizing catheterization protocols is crucial for patient safety and procedural success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of prolonged radial artery cannulation on vascular function.
    • To determine the relationship between catheter dwell time and the incidence of arterial occlusion, cannula dysfunction, and thrombus formation.
    • To identify a threshold for safe radial artery catheterization duration.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study involving 114 patients undergoing percutaneous radial artery cannulation.

  • Utilized arteriography, Doppler ultrasound, and physical examination to assess radial artery function.
  • Categorized patients based on cannulation duration: 1-3 days versus 4-10 days.

    • Main Results:

    • Radial artery cannulations lasting 4-10 days showed a significantly higher incidence of arterial occlusion (29%) compared to 1-3 days (11%).
    • Prolonged cannulation (4-10 days) was associated with increased rates of cannula dysfunction (38% vs. 18%) and thrombus formation.
    • The risk of vascular complications escalated significantly after 3 days of catheter dwell time.

    Conclusions:

    • Vascular complication risk, including arterial occlusion and cannula dysfunction, increases markedly with radial artery cannulation exceeding 3 days.
    • Shorter cannulation durations (1-3 days) are associated with a lower incidence of adverse vascular events.
    • Clinical practice should consider limiting radial artery catheter dwell time to mitigate risks.
