Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, radial artery access has gained popularity for interventional neurovascular procedures due to patient comfort and fewer complications. However, there are instances where the radial artery approach is not feasible. In such cases, trans-ulnar artery access (TUA) can offer an alternate route. There is limited data regarding neuro-interventional procedures performed via this approach. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of trans-ulnar approach for a wide range of interventional neurovascular procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data for all patients who underwent ulnar artery access for diagnostic or interventional neuroradiology procedures was retrospectively collected between September 2020 and March 2021. Patient demographics, procedural details, procedure success, and complications were recorded. RESULTS During the study period, 23 patients underwent 24 trans-ulnar approach procedures. The mean age of patients was 50.1 ± 14.2 years. Fourteen diagnostic cerebral angiograms and ten interventional procedures were performed. All procedures were successfully completed via trans-ulnar approach without a switch to alternate access. No major access site complication was observed. CONCLUSION Ulnar artery access is a safe and feasible option for neurovascular procedures. It can be effectively utilized for diagnostic cerebral angiography and a wide range of interventional procedures.

Abstract
AIMS Vascular access site complications following transradial coronary procedures are less common and severe compared to femoral approach. Radial artery occlusion is considered the main adverse effect. As radial access is gaining more acknowledgement, complication awareness, and understanding is important. The aim was to assess complication rates following transradial coronary procedures and to compare two radial compression devices in a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial. METHODS AND RESULTS Four hundred and ninety-nine patients were randomized to radial compression with a new device (RY Stop, n = 248) or the reference device (TR Band, n = 251) following transradial coronary procedures. Radial artery occlusion persistent at 90 days was the primary endpoint. Discomfort and accounts of vascular complications at access site were secondary endpoints. Radial artery occlusion was observed in 5% (n = 26) for the entire cohort with no difference between groups (RY Stop 6% vs. TR Band 5%; P = 0.69). Patients overall reported low levels of discomfort and the median scores were similar in both groups; RY Stop: 7 vs. TR Band: 10 (P = 0.90). There were few incidents of bleeding (7%), however, they were significantly more frequent with the RY Stop (12%) than with the TR Band (3%; P = 0.001). Few patients (4%) developed access site haematomas, and the incidence was similar in the two groups (P = 0.98). CONCLUSION We observed a radial artery occlusion rate of 5% at 90 days post-procedure. Access site discomfort and vascular complication rates were low. Overall, the RY Stop compression device was not inferior to the TR Band except occurrences of bleeding.

Abstract
In one multicenter and several single-center studies involving 202 cases, new shapes of transradial access PCI guide catheters were tested following a standardized original protocol. The evaluation included a newly designed score for PCI complexity. Three operators successfully performed the 40 cases of the multicenter study, scoring intermediate to difficult 66% of the cases. New shapes were tested for left and right coronary artery and saphenous vein graft PCIs, with right or left transradial access. The new shapes performed adequately, including in 5F sizing. PCI success and fluoroscopy time were related to the score of complexity.

Abstract
Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the commonest complication of transradial catheterization. There is no evidence-based therapy, in the frame of a randomized control study, for the treatment of RAO. The purpose of the LOW-RAO study is to question the hypothesis if low-molecular-weight heparin is effective in the treatment of RAO after transradial coronary catheterization (both angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention). It is a prospective, open label, randomized controlled trial that will randomize 60 patients with RAO, irrespective of symptoms, into two groups, one receiving anticoagulation with low-molecular-weight heparin and the other receiving no treatment. The primary end point is improvement in radial artery patency rate at 4 weeks after the procedure. Trial registration number: NCT04196309 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Primary objectives: to compare radial artery occlusion rate (RAO) after cardiac catheterization between catecholamine-chitosan pad (InnoSEAL) and pneumatic compression device (PCD) and to compare difference in hemostasis time and radial monitoring termination time between two arms. Secondary objectives: to compare radial site bleeding and ease of use of two methods by cath-lab technicians. BACKGROUND Hemostatic pads may be an effective alternative to PCD with lesser chance of access site complications with advantage of shortened compression time. METHODS Patients (N = 606) undergoing trans-radial, diagnostic or interventional procedures were randomized to either InnoSEAL arm or PCD. RAO was assessed using US Duplex; performed 6-24 hr posthemostatic device removal. Time to hemostasis was recorded as per defined protocols. Ease of use among cath-lab technicians was assessed through 5 point Likert scale. RESULTS Data of 597 patients was analyzed (299 InnoSEAL, 298 PCD). RAO rate was 8.5% in InnoSEAL and 9.4% in PCD arm (p value >.05). The pooled median hemostasis time and time to termination of radial monitoring was 42 versus 225 min and 50 versus 240 min in InnoSEAL and PCD arms, respectively (p value: <.01). There was no difference in Grade I/II hematoma (InnoSEAL: 1.3% vs. PCD: 3.4%). InnoSEAL was marginally acceptable compared to PCD by technicians. CONCLUSION Hemostasis time is significantly shorter in InnoSEAL arm with reasonable acceptability to its usage among cath lab staff. RAO and bleeding complications are comparable between the arms. Based on our findings, it seems feasible to include Chitosan based hemostasis pad routinely in cath lab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The feasibility and safety of transradial angiography is not established outside the adult literature. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of transradial access for neuroangiography in adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective case-control study was performed, comparing transradial neuroendovascular procedures in adolescents (age range, 10-18 years) with an age- and procedure-matched cohort of transfemoral neuroendovascular procedures. Clinical and procedural details, including type of procedure, conversion rate, fluoroscopy time, radiation dose, complications, and readmissions, were reported by descriptive statistics or measures of central tendency and compared using a t test or nonparametric equivalent. A P value < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Twenty adolescents (mean age, 14.6 [SD, 1.7] years, M/F ratio = 9:11) who underwent transradial neuroangiography were compared against 20 adolescents (mean age, 14.4 [SD, 2.1 ] years, M/F ratio = 12:8) who underwent transfemoral neuroangiography. We found no significant difference in procedural success (0% conversion rate), fluoroscopy times (33.7 [SD, 40.2] minutes versus 23.3 [SD, 26.2] minutes, P = .34) and radiation dose (150.9 [SD, 133.7] Gy×cm2 and 122.9 [SD, 79.7] Gy×cm,2 P = .43) There were 2 self-limiting postprocedural complications in the transradial group. There were no major hemorrhages, need for further interventions, or readmissions in either group. CONCLUSIONS The benefits of transradial angiography described for adults can likely be safely extended to adolescents. These are important data before transitioning to smaller children and should be prospectively evaluated in a larger cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radial artery occlusion is a common complication of coronary angiography via radial artery, attributed to the prolonged use of trans-radial band post procedure. Literature suggests there is no standard protocol for radial band deflation, and it varies across institutions. However, the protocol suggested by Cohen and Alfonso is widely used globally. This study aims to test whether our hospital's radial band deflation protocol is non-inferior to the protocol of Cohen and Alfonso, which affirms lesser complications. METHODS This is an outcome assessor blinded, non-inferiority trial conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi. We enrolled 100 patients who underwent coronary angiography from radial access and gave written informed consent. The intervention group received protocol A, that is in practice at the institution, while the control group received protocol B, developed by Cohen and Alfonso. The primary outcome was occurrence of radial artery occlusion at 24 h. The secondary outcomes included hematoma and bleeding after radial band removal. RESULTS The mean age of the participants in the trial was 58.3 ± 11.5 years, while 63% of them were men. Participants in both the groups had similar baseline characteristics. Radial artery occlusion was not significantly different between protocol A and protocol B (10% vs. 14%, p = 0.49, respectively). Similarly, hematoma and bleeding after trans-radial band removal showed no statistical difference between the groups. CONCLUSION Trans-radial band deflation practice at our institution was non-inferior to Cohen and Alfonso's protocol in the incidence of radial artery occlusion after coronary angiography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently there is a trend for radial first which advocates radial artery access as the first choice to perform diagnostic and interventional neurovascular procedures. Although safer than the conventional common femoral artery access, it is associated with a high rate of radial artery occlusion. Distal radial artery access is recently proposed to avoid this complication. This study aims to assess the feasibility and safety of distal radial artery access across a wide range of interventional neurovascular procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS All Interventional neurovascular cases attempted via distal radial artery access from September 2019 till March 2021 were included in the study. Data regarding patient demographics, distal radial artery diameter, access site cannulation, size of the sheath, procedural details including success rate and complications were collected. RESULTS During the study period, 102 patients underwent 114 procedures via the distal radial artery approach. The mean age of patients was 41.9 ± 15.2 years. Overall procedure success rate via DRA was 94.7% (108/114). 72 diagnostic cerebral angiograms and 36 interventional procedures were successfully completed while six procedures required switching to alternate access. CONCLUSION Distal radial artery access is a safe and feasible option for diagnostic cerebral angiography and a wide range of neurovascular procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little consensus on endovascular treatment for symptomatic intracranial posterior circulation stenosis via the transradial approach (TRA). We report our multicenter experience and technical procedures that directly used a distal access catheter (DAC) via TRA for the treatment of symptomatic intracranial vertebral (VA) and basilar (BA) artery stenosis. METHODS From January 2019 to December 2020, 92 consecutive patients with severe symptomatic intracranial VA or BA stenosis were retrospectively collected and divided into two groups (TRA group and transfemoral approach (TFA) group) for neurointerventional treatment. The percentages of catheters reaching the V3/V4 segment of the VA and technical success, postoperative care conditions, preoperative outcomes and complications, long term clinical outcomes, and imaging follow-ups were observed. RESULTS The catheter, CAT 5, reached the V4 segment of the VA in 37 TRA patients (88.1%). The duration of the procedure was significantly shorter in the TRA group than in the TFA group (median 48.0 min vs 55.5 min, p=0.037). More patients in the TRA group could walk within 2 hours after the procedure (85.7% vs 10.0%, p=0.000), and the duration of retaining catheterization in the TRA group was shorter (3.0±1.2 hours vs 11.7±5.6 hours, p=0.000). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the potential feasibility and safety of using a DAC via the TRA without guiding support for the treatment of symptomatic intracranial VA and BA stenosis. The TRA demonstrated some advantages over the standard TFA in terms of patient comfort. Further randomized controlled trials comparing the TRA and TFA for posterior circulation stenosis are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a nursing outcome, consistent with the standardized format of outcomes within the nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). This outcome will include an outcome label, an outcome definition, and clinical indicators. The proposed use for this outcome is to evaluate the access site of a percutaneous procedure. METHODS Concept analysis with a scoping review. Initially, content experts were recruited to validate the indicators of the proposed outcome in order to complete a consensus validation. After consensus validation, a review of the proposed outcome and its indicators was completed by two of the editors of the NOC team to confirm that the outcome label, definition, and indicators were consistent with the NOC taxonomy. During this review, edits were made on the label name and definition. FINDINGS After a series of reviews, the initial outcome of Vascular Status: Percutaneous Procedure Access was changed to Tissue Injury Severity: Percutaneous Procedure. In addition, the original definition of the condition of an access site for percutaneous procedure by venous or arterial puncture and health of surrounding tissues was edited to: Severity of complications from a needle-puncture access through the skin and into deeper tissues. The outcome has 11 indicators to be used to formulate a target rating for use in the clinical setting. The indicators were not edited over the course of the reviews. CONCLUSION The proposed outcome will assist nurses in evaluating the access site of percutaneous procedures and in identifying possible complications. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NURSING PRACTICE This research contributes to the refinement of the NOC taxonomy by having a new outcome that meets clinical practice needs.

[PMID: 34207631 PMCID: PMC8226690 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11060531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: This cross-sectional study aims to compare a new and non-invasive approach using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) with the conventional modified Allen’s test (MAT) for the assessment of collateral perfusion prior to radial forearm free flap harvest in healthy adults. (2) HSI of the right hand of 114 patients was recorded. Here, three recordings were carried out: (I) basic status (perfusion), (II) after occlusion of ulnar and radial artery (occlusion) and (III) after releasing the ulnar artery (reperfusion). At all recordings, tissue oxygenation/superficial perfusion (StO2 (0–100%); 0–1 mm depth), tissue hemoglobin index (THI (0–100)) and near infrared perfusion index/deep perfusion (NIR (0–100); 0–4 mm depth) were assessed. A modified Allen’s test (control) was conducted and compared with the HSI-results. (3) Results: Statistically significant differences between perfusion (I) and artery occlusion (II) and between artery occlusion (II) and reperfusion (III) could be observed within the population with a non-pathological MAT (each <0.001). Significant correlations were observed for the difference between perfusion and reperfusion in THI and the height of the MAT (p < 0.05). Within the population with a MAT >8 s, an impairment in reperfusion was shown (each p < 0.05) and the difference between perfusion and reperfusion exhibited a strong correlation to the height of the MAT (each p < 0.01). (4) Conclusions: The results indicate a reliable differentiation between perfusion and occlusion by HSI. Therefore, HSI could be a useful tool for verification of the correct performance of the MAT as well as to confirm the final diagnosis, as it provides an objective, reproducible method whose results strongly correlate with those obtained by MAT. What is more, it can be easily applied by non-medical personnel.

Ultrasound evaluation of the radial artery in young adults - A pilot study. Ann Anat 2021; 238:151763. [PMID: 34051322 DOI: 10.1016/j.aanat.2021.151763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2019] [Revised: 05/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The radial artery is a vessel frequently used in various medical procedures which carry a risk of complications. One such method used to minimize the number of complications is a profound knowledge of the artery's diameter, which allows for appropriate selection of an instrument to use for puncture. The purpose of this study is to determine the diameter of the radial artery and its depth from the skin surface in young adults. MATERIAL AND METHODS 96 volunteers participated in the study. The average age of the volunteers was 20.43 years. All participants underwent a B-mode ultrasonography to measure the distal radial artery's diameter. Certified anthropometric instruments were used to determine the relation between the artery diameter and the selected basic anthropometric parameters. RESULTS The mean right arterial diameter for the entire examined population at the level of the styloid process was mean 1.42 (SD 0.26) mm and its distance to the skin was mean 4.00 (SD1.20) mm. Statistical analysis revealed the presence of moderate positive relationship between the diameter of the radial artery and body weight and between the diameter of the radial artery and BMI. A weak correlation between the artery diameter and the width of the wrist was also present. CONCLUSION In the present work, we aimed to determine the dimensions of the distal section of the radial artery in young people free from symptoms of cardiovascular diseases. The obtained initial study results advise selecting instruments for vascular puncture individually, with special attention paid to slender people with slim wrists.

Early radial artery occlusion following the use of a transradial 7-French sheath for complex coronary interventions in Chinese patients. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2021; 97 Suppl 2:1063-1071. [PMID: 33749972 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2021] [Revised: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to explore the impact of 7-Fr sheaths on the incidence of early radial artery occlusion (RAO) after transradial coronary intervention (TRI) in Chinese patients. BACKGROUND RAO precludes future use of the vessel for vascular access. Transradial catheterization is usually performed via 5-Fr or 6-Fr catheters; 7-Fr sheath insertion enables complex coronary interventions but may increase the RAO risk. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 130 consecutive patients undergoing complex TRI using 7-Fr sheaths. Radial artery ultrasound assessment was performed before and after TRI. Early RAO was defined as the absence of flow on ultrasound within 6-24 hr after TRI. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the factors related to early RAO after TRI. RESULTS 7-Fr sheaths were mainly used for chronic total occlusion (44.6%), bifurcation (30.0%), and tortuous calcification (25.4%) lesions. All patients were successfully sheathed. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedural success was 96.2%; 119 patients (91.5%) had preserved radial artery patency after TRI. All 11 RAO cases (8.5%) were asymptomatic. The radial artery diameter was significantly larger postoperatively (3.1 ± 0.4 mm) than preoperatively (2.6 ± 0.5 mm) (p < .001). No parameters significantly differed between patients with and without RAO. TRI history was the only independent risk factor of early RAO (odds ratio: 6.047, 95% confidence interval: 1.100-33.253, p = .039). CONCLUSIONS 7-Fr sheath use after transradial access for complex PCI is feasible and safe. Evaluating the radial artery within 24 hr after TRI allows timely RAO recognition, important for taking measures to maintain radial artery patency and preserve access for future TRIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transradial approach (TRA) has increasingly become the default strategy for cardiac catheterisation. However, TRA can result in several complications; radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most unwilling complication. Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is an effective therapy in preventing RAO. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether weight-adjusted high dose UFH reduces the rate of RAO after diagnostic cardiac catheterisation compared to weight-adjusted standard dose UFH. METHODS A total of 1215 patients screened and after exclusion criteria, 686 consecutive patients were enrolled. 100 IU/kg UFH (high dose UFH group) and 50 IU/kg UFH (standard dose UFH group) were given the patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterisation. RAO was evaluated with vascular Doppler ultrasonography at 10 days after cardiac catheterisation. RESULTS Among 686 patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterisation, RAO was detected in 36 (5.2%) patients. There was no significant difference with respect to baseline characteristics and co-morbid diseases between high dose UFH group and standard dose UFH group. RAO was significantly higher in standard dose UFH group than high dose UFH group (7.9% vs. 3.0%, p = .004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was demonstrated that age (OR: 0.958, 95% CI: 0.924-0.993, p = .019) and standard dose heparin (OR: 2.811, 95% CI: 1.347-5.866, p = .006) were independent factor for RAO. CONCLUSIONS High dose UFH was independently associated with a lower rate of RAO. Given that RAO nearly affects about 10% patient underwent TRA, prefer to high dose UFH may be a reasonable choice for RAO prevention.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to explore the use of prolonged occlusion flow-mediated dilatation (PO-FMD) to dilate the radial artery prior to cannulation to increase cannulation success, reduce puncture attempts and reduce access-site complications in transradial coronary angiography. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1,156 patients undergoing transradial coronary angiography were randomised into PO-FMD and sham PO-FMD groups. PO-FMD was achieved by a 10-minute inflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm to above systolic pressure, followed by deflation with resultant radial artery dilation. In the sham PO-FMD group the cuff was not inflated. Operators were blinded to the intervention. Five hundred and eighty (580) patients were randomised to the sham PO-FMD group and 576 to the PO-FMD group. Cannulation failure was reduced with PO-FMD, with cannulation failure rates of 2.7% in the PO-FMD group and 5.8% in the sham PO-FMD group (p=0.01).The number of puncture attempts was reduced with the use of PO-FMD, with a median of one attempt in the PO-FMD group and two in the sham PO-FMD group (p<0.001). Radial artery pulsation loss (RAPL) was reduced with PO-FMD, with 1.4% in the PO-FMD group and 3.8% in the sham PO-FMD group (p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS PO-FMD reduces cannulation failure rates, decreases puncture attempts, and decreases RAPL during transradial coronary angiography.

Abstract
Objectives: The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous and peri-arterial isosorbide mononitrate in preventing occlusion of the radial artery (ORA) after percutaneous coronary procedures (PCP) performed by the transradial approach (TRA). As secondary objectives, define the incidence of ORA in the institution and assess variables related to the risk of occlusion. Methods: Single-center, double-blind, randomized study, including in- and outpatients from a high complexity hospital, admitted to performing PCP, diagnostic or therapeutic, by TRA, in stable coronary conditions (elective) or acute coronary syndrome. The sample will be randomly divided into a group that will receive the medication and a control group. All participants will be submitted to palpatory assessment of radial artery patency and the Barbeau inverse test within 24 h and seven days after the procedure. This will be the first study to evaluate isosorbide mononitrate as an accessible and inexpensive pharmacological method for preventing OAR after PCP by VTR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) has been typically performed through a femoral approach thus increasing the risk of bleeding and access site-related vascular complications. The aim of this study was to describe the safety and efficacy of transradial aortic valve valvuloplasty (TRBAV). METHODS The present research is a retrospective, single-center study including patients undergoing TRBAV (October 2019-July 2020). BAV was performed using 18-25 mm balloons through an 8-10 French (F) radial sheath. Successful BAV was defined as ≥50% reduction in peak-to-peak gradient (efficacy endpoint). Procedural complications, including radial artery occlusion (RAO) at follow-up were evaluated (safety endpoint). RESULTS Twenty-four patients underwent TRBAV were included, aged 81 (73-85) years, 70% males, EuroScoreII 3.1 (2.1-5.5). Aortic valve gradient was significantly reduced (pre-50±24 vs. 18.7±13 mmHg post, P<0.001), and 91% had successful BAV. Mean gradient drop was 31.4±16.8 mmHg. One patient (4%) required cross-over to femoral access for severe vasospasm and was excluded from the analysis. Most used sheaths were 8F (46%) and 9F (37%), mostly for 20 mm (50%) and 23 mm (38%) balloons. There were neither major procedural complications (neither balloon entrapment nor compartmental syndrome) nor minor complications (any access-site bleeding). RAO was observed in 2 patients (8%), both asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS TRBAV was safe, feasible, and efficacious with a small rate of conversion and RAO, suggesting reproducibility of this novel technique. TRBAV may represent an alternative to femoral access in selected patients although larger studies are warranted.

Abstract
Transradial access (TRA) via the left radial artery is an alternative to traditional transfemoral access for catheter-based procedures that is becoming increasingly more relevant in all types of arterial vascular interventions. First investigated in the realm of cardiology, TRA has been proven to provide many benefits (such as lower complication rates, lower cost, and improved patient comfort during and after the procedure) when compared with traditional femoral access while maintaining efficacy. This article provides an in-depth summary of the technical aspects of radial access while incorporating more recent data to explain patient preference for TRA, and the ways that TRA can improve peri-procedure workflow and compensation. It also describes potential complications, such as radial artery spasm, difficult anatomic variants and radial artery occlusion, and then gives techniques for mitigating and treating these complications. The article explains why TRA has become an important option for vascular and interventional radiology physicians, and why it is likely that this will continue to grow in relevance.

Abstract
(1) Background: The exact mechanism underlying hand strength reduction (HSR) after coronary angiography with transradial access (TRA) or transulnar access (TUA) remains unknown. (2) Methods: This study aimed to assess the impact of using a larger or smaller forearm artery access on the incidence of HSR at 30-day follow-up. This was a prospective randomized trial including patients referred for elective coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention. Based on the pre-procedural ultrasound examination, the larger artery was identified. Patients were randomized to larger radial artery (RA) or ulnar artery (UA) or a group with smaller RA/UA. The primary endpoint was the incidence of HSR, while the secondary endpoint was the incidence of subjective HSR, paresthesia, and any hand pain. (3) Results: We enrolled 200 patients (107 men and 93 women; mean age 68 ± 8 years) between 2017 and 2018. Due to crossover between TRA and TUA, there were 57% (n = 115) patients in larger RA/UA and 43% (n = 85) patients in smaller RA/UA. HSR occurred in 29% (n = 33) patients in larger RA/UA and 47% (n = 40) patients in smaller RA/UA (p = 0.008). Subjective HSR was observed in 10% (n = 12) patients in larger RA/UA and 21% (n = 18) patients in smaller RA/UA (p = 0.03). Finally, paresthesia was noted in 7% (n = 8) patients in larger RA/UA and 22% (n = 15) in smaller RA/UA (p = 002). Independent factors of HSR were larger RA/UA (OR 0.45; 95% CI, 0.24-0.82; p < 0.01) and the use of TRA (OR 1.87; 95% CI, 1.01-34; p < 0.05). (4) Conclusions: The use of a larger artery as vascular access was associated with a lower incidence of HSR at 30-day follow-up.

Abstract
The transradial approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (TRA-PCI) has been increasingly gaining popularity in clinical practice. However, its association with risk for long-term radial artery injury has not been yet thoroughly defined. We retrospectively examined the patients undergoing radial artery angiography (RAG) after TRA-PCI to determine the incidence and risk factors of radial artery injury. The study included 558 patients undergoing follow-up radial artery angiography at 12 month after TRA-PCI. Radial artery injury occurred in 140 patients (25%) with 3 distinct morphological patterns: focal radial artery stenosis (RAS) P.7,7: in 7 patients (1%), diffuse radial artery stenosis (RAS) in 78 patients (14%), and radial artery occlusion (RAO) in 55 patients (10%). Patients with RAS/RAO were more likely to be female, had smaller height and body weight, smaller body mass index and smaller body surface area (BSA) as compared with those without RAS/RAO. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified BSA (odds ratio, 1.34 per 0.1 m2 increase; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.71; p = 0.01) and a history of TRA-PCI (odds ratio, 2.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.16-5.08; p = 0.017) as independent predisposing factors of radial artery injury. In a sub-analysis of 323 patients undergoing both pre-PCI RAG and follow-up RAG, pre-PCI radial diameter as well as BSA and a history of TRA-PCI were independently associated with radial artery injury. Long-term injury after TRA-PCI is considerably common and care should be paid for RAS/RAO, especially for those patients with lower BSA, history of TRA-PCI and small radial artery diameter.

Abstract
Background: A recanalizing-process might decrease the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) at a late assessment postcatheterization opposed to an early assessment. In this study, we evaluated the rate of RAO at a late postcatheterization period. Materials & methods: A retrospective case-control design was adapted including 148 patients who underwent trans-radial cardiac catheterization 7 to 18 months ago. The primary outcome was to assess RAO at the mentioned period while the secondary outcomes were to assess risk factors and symptoms associated with occlusion. RAO was assessed by Doppler ultrasound. Result: Thirteen patients (8.8%) had RAO in a median follow-up time of 13 months. Hand disability as measured by QuickDash score was significantly associated with RAO. Conclusion: This study adds a new insight on late RAO after coronary catheterization in Jordan and the region. Our findings support an ischemic mechanism contributing to long-term hand dysfunction.

Abstract
Vascular lesions of the hand are common and are distinct from vascular lesions elsewhere because of the terminal vascular network in this region, the frequent hand exposure to trauma and microtrauma, and the superficial location of the lesions. Vascular lesions in the hand may be secondary to local pathology, a proximal source of emboli, or systemic diseases with vascular compromise. In most cases, ischaemic conditions are investigated with Doppler ultrasonography. However, computed tomography angiography (CTA) or dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is often necessary for treatment planning. MR imaging is frequently performed with MRA to distinguish between vascular malformations, vascular tumours, and perivascular tumours. Some vascular tumours preferentially affect the hand, such as pyogenic granulomas or spindle cell haemangiomas associated with Maffucci syndrome. Glomus tumours are the most frequent perivascular tumours of the hand. The purpose of this article is to describe the state-of-the-art acquisition protocols and illustrate the different patterns of vascular lesions and perivascular tumours of the hand.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radial artery occlusion is a common complication after coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention via the transradial access. In recent years, coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention via the distal transradial access has gradually emerged, but recanalization of the occluded radial artery through the distal transradial access has rarely been reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 67-year-old female with arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus was admitted to the hospital due to chest pain for three hours. She was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. After admission, the patient successfully underwent emergency coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention through the right transradial access. Radial artery occlusion was found after the operation, and recanalization was successfully performed through the right distal transradial access before discharge. Immediately after the operation and one month later, vascular ultrasonography showed that the antegrade flow was normal. CONCLUSIONS This report presents a case of radial artery occlusion after emergency coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention in which recanalization was successfully performed through the right distal transradial access. This case demonstrates that recanalization of a radial artery occlusion via the distal transradial access is safe and feasible.

Use of the left radial artery as vascular access for coronary angiography and as a bypass conduit: A clinical dilemma? CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2021; 34:134-139. [PMID: 33485859 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2021.01.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE International coronary revascularization guidelines recommend both, transradial vascular access for coronary angiography/intervention and use of the radial artery as a conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). These recommendations may pose a clinical dilemma, as transradial access exposes these arteries to vascular trauma which makes them potentially unsuitable as future grafts. In this study, we investigated the awareness and views of cardiologists on these guideline recommendations. METHODS We performed semi-structured interviews with 50 cardiologists from 19 centers, who regularly perform coronary angiographies or interventions, and outlined clinical scenarios to evaluate their preference of vascular access. In addition, we assessed whether preference was related to sub-specialization. RESULTS The interviewed cardiologists had 16 ± 9.3 years of professional experience. There were 23 (46%) cardiologists from 7 centers without percutaneous coronary intervention facilities, and 27 (56%) cardiologists from 12 interventional centers. All 50 (100%) cardiologists indicated familiarity with the guidelines, yet 28 (56%) said not to be familiar with the aforementioned dilemma, and 9 (18%) stated there was no dilemma at all. Responses did not differ significantly between interventional (n = 28) and non-interventional (n = 22) cardiologists; however, if the right radial artery was unavailable (e.g., occluded), interventional cardiologists more often said to prefer access via the left radial artery (18/28 (64%) vs. 5/22 (23%), p = 0.001). CONCLUSION More than half of the interviewed cardiologists indicated that they had not realized that left transradial access preceding CABG may preclude later use of this artery as a conduit. Notably, in case of unavailability of the right radial artery, interventional cardiologists preferred left transradial access more often than non-interventional cardiologists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transradial access for neurointerventional procedures has been proved a safer and more comfortable alternative to femoral artery access. We present our experience with transradial (distal radial/anatomic snuffbox and radial artery) access for treatment of intracranial aneurysms using all 3 FDA-approved flow diverters. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a high-volume, dual-center, retrospective analysis of each institution's data base between June 2018 and June 2020 and a collection of all patients treated with flow diversion via transradial access. Patient demographic information and procedural and radiographic data were obtained. RESULTS Seventy-four patients were identified (64 female patients) with a mean age of 57.5 years with a total of 86 aneurysms. Most aneurysms were located in the anterior circulation (93%) and within the intracranial ICA (67.4%). The mean aneurysm size was 5.5 mm. Flow diverters placed included the Pipeline Embolization Device (Flex) (PED, n = 65), the Surpass Streamline Flow Diverter (n = 8), and the Flow-Redirection Endoluminal Device (FRED, n = 1). Transradial access was successful in all cases, but femoral crossover was required in 3 cases (4.1%) due to tortuous anatomy and inadequate support of the catheters in 2 cases and an inability to navigate to the target vessel in a patient with an aberrant right subclavian artery. All 71 other interventions were successfully performed via the transradial approach (95.9%). No access site complications were encountered. Asymptomatic radial artery occlusion was encountered in 1 case (3.7%). CONCLUSIONS Flow diverters can be successfully placed via the transradial approach with high technical success, low access site complications, and a low femoral crossover rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there are no large-scale studies in the neurointerventional literature comparing safety between transradial (TRA) and transfemoral (TFA) approaches for flow diversion procedures. This study aims to assess complication rates in a large multicenter registry for TRA versus TFA flow diversion. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed flow diversion cases for cerebral aneurysms from 14 institutions from 2010 to 2019. Pooled analysis of proportions was calculated using weighted analysis with 95% CI to account for results from multiple centers. Access site complication rate and overall complication rate were compared between the two approaches. RESULTS A total of 2,285 patients who underwent flow diversion were analyzed, with 134 (5.86%) treated with TRA and 2151 (94.14%) via TFA. The two groups shared similar patient and aneurysm characteristics. Crossover from TRA to TFA was documented in 12 (8.63%) patients. There were no access site complications in the TRA group. There was a significantly higher access site complication rate in the TFA cohort as compared with TRA (2.48%, 95% CI 2.40% to 2.57%, vs 0%; p=0.039). One death resulted from a femoral access site complication. The overall complications rate was also higher in the TFA group (9.02%, 95% CI 8.15% to 9.89%) compared with the TRA group (3.73%, 95% CI 3.13% to 4.28%; p=0.035). CONCLUSION TRA may be a safer approach for flow diversion to treat cerebral aneurysms at a wide range of locations. Both access site complication rate and overall complication rate were lower for TRA flow diversion compared with TFA in this large series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In recent years, the transradial approach has become more widely adopted for neuroendovascular procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a transradial approach and distal transradial access for neuroendovascular procedures in a single center. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis was performed for all patients who underwent transradial approach or distal transradial access neuroendovascular procedures from January 2016 to August 2019 at a single center. Exclusion criteria included a Barbeau D waveform, a radial artery of <2 mm on sonographic evaluation, and known radial artery occlusion. Procedures were evaluated for technical success (defined as successful radial artery access and completion of the intended procedure without crossover to an auxiliary access site), complications, and adverse events during follow-up at 30 days. RESULTS The transradial approach or distal transradial access was attempted in 279 consecutive patients (58.1% women; median age, 57.7 years) who underwent 328 standard or distal transradial approach procedures. Two-hundred seventy-nine transradial approach and 49 distal transradial approach procedures were performed (cerebral angiography [n = 213], intracranial intervention [n = 64], head and neck intervention [n = 30], and stroke intervention [n = 21]). Technical success was 92.1%. Immediate adverse events (2.1%) included radial access site hematoma (n = 5), radial artery occlusion (n = 1), and acute severe radial artery spasm (n = 1). Thirty-day adverse events (0.3%) included a radial artery pseudoaneurysm (n = 1). Twenty-six cases (7.9%) required crossover to transfemoral access. CONCLUSIONS The transradial approach for neuroendovascular procedures is safe and feasible across a wide range of neuroendovascular interventions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION About 2%-30% of cardiac catheterisation procedures get complicated by radial artery occlusion (RAO). Ensuring patent haemostasis appears to be an important factor in reducing RAO. Currently employed method is a radial compression device (RCD) such as transradial band (TRB) that take hours to achieve haemostasis and cause discomfort to the patients. Haemostatic pads offer an alternative to RCD with reduced time to achieve haemostasis. Our trial aims to determine the non-inferiority of the catecholamine chitosan-based pad (InnoSEAL haemostatic pad) used in conjunction with TRB (InnoSEAL +TRB) when compared with the TRB alone in reducing composite adverse access site outcomes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS It will be an open-label, parallel, randomised controlled trial on 714 adult patients (325 in each arm) undergoing coronary procedure using transradial approach at a cardiac health facility over 7 months duration. InnoSEAL patch along with TRB will be used to control bleeding in intervention arm and TRB alone in control arm, which is the standard practice. Study primary outcomes include RAO and haematoma; secondary outcomes are compression time, patient discomfort, time to discharge and ease of use of the intervention technique by the healthcare staff. χ2 test will be used to compare the categorical outcomes between two arms and student's t-test for continuous outcomes. A p value of <0.05 will be considered significant. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval for the study has been obtained from the Institutional Review Board of Tabba Heart Institute number IORG0007863. Findings will be disseminated through seminars and scientific publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04380883; Pre-results.

Indian Heart J 2020; 73:26-34. [PMID: 33714406 PMCID: PMC7961259 DOI: 10.1016/j.ihj.2020.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2019] [Revised: 06/29/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims :To evaluate safety and efficacy of distal right radial access (DRRA) compared to right radial access (RRA), for coronary procedures, in patients with smaller diameter radial arteries (SDRA) (radial artery diameter (RAD) < 2.1 mm). Methods and results This is a retrospective analysis of safety and efficacy of DRRA Vs. RRA in patients undergoing coronary procedures at our cardiac catheterization laboratories over a 10- month period between September 2017 and June, 2018 (first 5 calendar months with RRA-first; next 5 calendar months with DRRA-first). All patients underwent pre-procedure ultrasound of arm arteries. All patients had RAD<2.1 mm (mean RAD 1.63 ± 0.27 mm; RAD≤1.6 mm in 73.5%). Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Primary end-point of puncture success was significantly lower in DRRA vs RRA group [79.5% vs 98.5%, p < 0.0001]. Puncture success was also lower in the subgroup of patients with RAD <1.6 mm Vs. ≥ 1.6 mm in the DRRA group (p < 0.0001). The secondary end-point of puncture time was significantly higher (2.1 ± 1.4 min vs. 1.0 ± 0.45 min, p < 0.00001) in the DRRA Vs. RRA group. The occurrence of vascular access site complications (including access site hematomas), radial artery occlusion (RAO) and distal RAO at day 1 and day 30 were similar between RRA and DRRA groups.Non-vascular access-site complication was seen only in the DRRA group. Conclusion DRRA is a safe and effective access for coronary procedures; though technically challenging in patients with SDRA (RAD<2.1 mm; mean RAD 1.63 ± 0.27 mm), with lower puncture success and higher puncture time compared to RRA.

Impact of the Use of a Larger Forearm Artery on the Efficacy and Safety of Transradial and Transulnar Access: A Randomized Trial with Preprocedural Ultrasonography. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9113607. [PMID: 33182392 PMCID: PMC7697068 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9113607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: We aimed to assess the impact of the selection of a larger radial or ulnar artery on the efficacy of access and vascular complications, based on preprocedural ultrasonographic examination. (2) Methods: This prospective, randomized trial included patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients were randomized into either a larger ulnar artery (UA) or radial artery (RA) group or smaller UA/RA group. The primary endpoint was successful CAG/PCI without crossover to another artery. The secondary endpoints were incidences of radial or ulnar artery occlusion (RAO/UAO) at the 24 h and 30 day follow-up. (3) Results: Between 2017 and 2018, 200 patients (107 men, mean age 68 ± 8 years) were enrolled. The success of CAG/PCI via the access site was 98% and 83% (p < 0.001) in the larger UA/RA group and smaller UA/RA group, respectively. The independent factor for CAG/PCI success was the larger artery (OR 9.8, 95%CI 2.11–45.5; p < 0.005). The larger UA/RA was superior, with RAO/UAO at 24 h: OR 0.07, 95%CI 0.09–0.61; p < 0.016; and RAO/UAO at 30 days: OR 0.25, 95%CI 0.05–0.12; p < 0.001. (4) Conclusions: Larger artery access was shown to be more efficient and safer than recessive forearm artery access.

Abstract
Aim Coronary interventions are increasingly being performed via the radial rather than femoral route because of the lower complication rate. Compression devices such as the TR band are used to achieve hemostasis after the procedure. At present, there are no clear protocols for the deflation of the band. In this study we compared two protocols (early deflation with increased intervals vs. late deflation with smaller intervals) in terms of total time to band removal and complications, and patient and staff satisfaction. Methods All patients who underwent a transradial coronary procedure and had a TR band fitted were enrolled into the study. The TR band was applied using the patent hemostasis method (2 ml air pushed in after the radial pulse appears on pulse oximetry after full occlusion with 16 ml air). Patients were randomly assigned to either protocol. Protocol 1 involved removal of 2 ml of air starting 1 hour after the sheath removal and then removal of 2 ml every 30 minutes until the band came off. Protocol 2 involved removal of 4 ml of air 2 hours after the sheath removal and then further 4 ml of air every 15 minutes until the band came off. Patient and staff satisfaction was measured with a visual analogue scale. Results A total of 174 patients were recruited (mean age, 60 ± 11 years; 127 male, 47 female). The baseline characteristics including total heparin dose and type of procedure, in the two arms were the same. Protocol 2 (n = 84) was associated with a significantly lower time to TR band removal as compared to protocol 1 (n = 90; 201 ± 43 min vs. 274 ± 54 min; p < 0.001). There was no difference in complications such as bleeding or hematoma formation between the two groups. Patient satisfaction was the same between the two groups. However, the staff preferred protocol 1 (p = 0.01). Conclusion A protocol of delayed initiation of TR band deflation followed by quick deflations is associated with a lower time to band removal with no increase in bleeding complications or patient satisfaction. However, the staff preferred longer intervals between deflations.

Abstract
The transradial access (TRA) for cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been widely adopted in the last decades since its first description in the late 40s. The transradial approach has been associated with favorable outcomes as compared with transfemoral access (TFA) in several registries and randomized clinical trials, mainly due to the lower incidence of access-site bleedings, vascular complications and improved patient comfort. This review aimed to summarize the body of evidence supporting the use of TRA, to discuss clinical implications, possible technical limitations and future directions, such as the implementation of TRA as the primary access for complex procedures and structural interventions.

A Randomized Trial Comparing Short versus Prolonged Hemostasis with Rescue Recanalization by Ipsilateral Ulnar Artery Compression: Impact on Radial Artery Occlusion-The RESCUE-RAO Trial. J Interv Cardiol 2020; 2020:7928961. [PMID: 33149729 PMCID: PMC7603610 DOI: 10.1155/2020/7928961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2020] [Revised: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Despite the enormous benefits of radial access, this route is associated with a risk of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Objective We compared the incidence of RAO in patients undergoing transradial coronary angiography and intervention after short versus prolonged hemostasis protocol. Also we assessed the efficacy of rescue 1-hour ipsilateral ulnar artery compression if RAO was observed after hemostasis. Material and Methods. Patients referred for elective transradial coronary procedures were eligible. After 6 F radial sheath removal, patients were randomized to short (3 hours) (n = 495) or prolonged (8 hours) (n = 503) hemostasis and a simple bandage was placed over the puncture site. After hemostasis was completed, oximetry plethysmography was used to assess the patency of the radial artery. Results One thousand patients were randomized. Baseline characteristics were similar between both groups with average age 61.4 ± 9.4 years (71% male) and PCI performed on half of the patients. The RAO rate immediately after hemostasis was 3.2% in the short hemostasis group and 10.1% in the prolonged group (p < 0.001). Rescue recanalization was successful only in the short group in 56.2% (11/19); at hospital discharge, RAO rates were 1.4% in the short group and 10.1% in the prolonged group (p < 0.001). Conclusion Shorter hemostasis was associated with significantly less RAO compared to prolonged hemostasis. Rescue radial artery recanalization was effective in > 50%, but only in the short hemostasis group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical effect and radial remodeling of transradial slender 7 Fr sheath for left main bifurcation disease (LM bifurcation). METHODS From January 2018 to September 2019, 236 patients with LM bifurcation undergoing transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from two heart centers were divided into slender 7 Fr sheath group (n = 127) and 6 Fr sheath group (n = 109). Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and very high-frequency ultrasound/ultra biomicroscopy (VHFUBM) were used to assess the clinical effect and radial remodeling of transradial sheath. RESULTS Slender 7 Fr sheath group had a higher preoperative distal bifurcation angle (67.271 ± 22.886) than 6 Fr group (55.831 ± 20.245) (p < .05). Post-PCI QCA results showed significant differences in minimum lumen diameter at proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) and left circumflex artery (LCX) between two groups (p < .05). There were no significant differences in target vessel myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, death and major adverse cardiocerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 30-day and 1-year follow-up between two groups (p>.05). No significant differences were observed in radial artery diameter (RAD), intimal-medial thickness (IMT) and radial artery injury at 24-h and 90-day follow-up between two groups. CONCLUSION With larger main and side branch diameter, larger angle of bifurcation and higher SYNTAX score, transradial slender 7 Fr sheath obtained similar clinical effects as 6 Fr sheath without increasing the occurrence of adverse events. Similar follow-up RAD, IMT and radial artery injury were observed. Therefore, slender 7 Fr sheath has safety and feasibility in applying to transradial LM-Bifurcation PCI.

Abstract
Objectives To compare the effectiveness and safety of the Braidin® slender 7 Fr sheath with a standard 6 Fr sheath for treating left main bifurcation disease. Methods From January 2017 to March 2019, 277 patients with left main bifurcation disease who underwent the transradial approach for percutaneous coronary intervention were divided into the slender 7 Fr sheath group (Braidin® slender 7 Fr sheath, n = 154) and standard 6 Fr sheath group (n = 123). Pathological features, surgical effect, and complications were evaluated. Results The rate of using the classic crush technique was significantly higher in the slender 7 Fr sheath group than in the standard 6 Fr sheath group. The slender 7 Fr sheath group had a significantly shorter operation time than the standard 6 Fr sheath group. There were no significant differences in the radial artery occlusion rate after surgery and at 1 month of follow-up between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that 6 Fr and Braidin slender 7 Fr sheaths did not predict radial artery occlusion. Conclusion The Braidin slender 7 Fr sheath has a superior operative process and similar safety for the radial artery as that of the standard 6 Fr sheath for treating left main bifurcation disease.

Abstract
A Glidesheath slender (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) and a sheathless Eaucath guiding catheter (Asahi Intecc, Nagoya, Japan) are two major slender devices utilized in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to investigate the differences in access-site complications between these devices in PCI for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A total of 1108 consecutive patients who underwent transradial PCI for ACS were enrolled. Transradial PCI was performed using either a 7-Fr Glidesheath slender/7-Fr guiding catheter combination (Glidesheath group) or a 7.5-Fr sheathless guiding catheter (Sheathless group); 1 : 1 propensity score matching was performed, and 728 patients (364 in each group) were included in the propensity-matched population. In the matched patients, univariate analysis revealed that the Glidesheath group had less radial artery occlusion (RAO) at 30 days (Glidesheath: 1.4% vs. Sheathless: 4.1%, odds ratio (OR) = 0.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.12-0.91, p=0.039), whereas no significant between-group differences were observed in severe radial spasm (Glidesheath: 1.4% vs. Sheathless: 1.9%, OR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.23-2.22, p=0.58) or access-site major bleeding (Glidesheath: 1.4% vs. Sheathless: 1.6%, OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.26-2.71, p=1.00). Multivariate analysis revealed that the choice for Glidesheath was significantly associated with less RAO (OR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.11-0.93, p=0.036). In conclusion, 7-Fr Glidesheath slender/7-Fr guiding catheter combination is obviously more advantageous than 7.5-Fr sheathless guiding catheters for decreased risk of RAO. The potential low risk of RAO in our findings supports the adoption of the 7-Fr Glidesheath slender sheath/7-Fr guiding catheter combination in transradial PCI for ACS.

Abstract
Purpose Animal studies have shown that endothelial denudation abolishes vasodilation in response to increased shear stress. Interestingly, shear-mediated dilation has been reported to be reduced, but not abolished, in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients following catheterization. However, it is not known whether this resulted from a priori endothelial dysfunction in this diseased population. In this study, we evaluated shear-mediated dilation following catheterization in healthy young men. Methods Twenty-six (age: 24.4 ± 3.8 years, BMI: 24.3 ± 2.8 kg m−2, VO2peak: 50.5 ± 8.8 ml/kg/min) healthy males underwent unilateral transradial catheterization. Shear-mediated dilation of both radial arteries was measured using flow-mediated dilation (FMD) pre-, and 7 days post-catheterization. Results FMD was reduced in the catheterized arm [9.3 ± 4.1% to 4.3 ± 4.1% (P < 0.001)] post-catheterization, whereas no change was observed in the control arm [8.4 ± 3.8% to 7.3 ± 3.8% (P = 0.168)]. FMD was completely abolished in the catheterized arm in five participants. Baseline diameter (P = 0.001) and peak diameter during FMD (P = 0.035) were increased in the catheterized arm 7 days post-catheterization (baseline: 2.3 ± 0.3 to 2.6 ± 0.2 mm, P < 0.001, peak: 2.5 ± 0.3 to 2.7 ± 0.3 mm, P = 0.001), with no change in the control arm (baseline: 2.3 ± 0.3 to 2.3 ± 0.3 mm, P = 0.288, peak: 2.5 ± 0.3 to 2.5 ± 0.3 mm, P = 0.608). Conclusion This is the first study in young healthy individuals with intact a priori endothelial function to provide evidence of impaired shear-mediated dilation following catheterization. When combined with earlier studies in CAD patients, our data suggest the catheterization impairs artery function in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duplex Doppler ultrasonography (USG) remains the gold standard for evaluation of radial artery occlusion (RAO) after transradial access (TRA). The diagnostic accuracy of digital plethysmography, which is cheaper and widely available, for evaluation of RAO after TRA is not known. METHODS Patients undergoing TRA were prospectively studied. After undergoing TRA for diagnostic or interventional coronary procedure and obtaining radial artery hemostasis, the radial artery was evaluated for presence or absence of RAO using digital plethysmography of the ipsilateral index finger and the thumb using modified reverse Barbeau's test (MRBT) and USG. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios and other metrics of evaluation of diagnostic performance of MRBT in reference to USG, the current gold standard, were evaluated. RESULTS 503 patients who underwent TRA for coronary procedures were studied. MRBT demonstrated a sensitivity = 96.2%, specificity = 99.8%, positive predictive value = 96.1, negative predictive value = 99.8, likelihood ratio (+) = 481, likelihood ratio (-) = 0.38, diagnostic accuracy = 99.6, diagnostic odds ratio = 11,904, Youden's index = 0.96, receiver operator characteristic derived c-statistic = 0.98 and Cohen's k = 0.98 when compared to USG. MRBT performed using the ipsilateral index finger and the thumb was no different. Agreement between absence of ipsilateral radial artery pulsation and RAO was weak (Cohen's k = 0.69). CONCLUSIONS MRBT using ipsilateral digital plethysmography performs comparably to USG for assessment of presence of RAO after TRA. There is no significant difference between MRBT performed using the ipsilateral thumb or the index finger.

When one complication begets another - A case report of radial artery pseudoaneurysm following radial artery occlusion post-transradial coronary angiography. J Cardiol Cases 2020; 22:52-54. [PMID: 32774519 DOI: 10.1016/j.jccase.2020.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2020] [Revised: 03/14/2020] [Accepted: 04/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The transradial approach for coronary angiography and intervention is the preferred approach because of its superior safety profile as compared to the transfemoral approach. However, like all procedures, transradial approach is not free from complications. In this case, we describe a unique case of a large symptomatic radial artery pseudoaneurysm requiring urgent surgical intervention. The pseudoaneurysm developed after treatment with a short duration of subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin for radial artery occlusion that occurred a day after transradial coronary catheterization. The pseudoaneurysm was repaired successfully and there was no recurrence during subsequent follow-up. Access-related complications post transradial approach are generally uncommon and this is the first reported case of radial artery occlusion further complicated by a large pseudoaneurysm to the best of our knowledge. Preventive measures are crucial in reducing radial artery occlusion while we recommend an individualized approach based on clinical history coupled with anatomic features of pseudoaneurysm in managing radial artery pseudoaneurysm. 〈Learning objective: Access-related complications post transradial approach coronary angiography, while rare, can still occur. Preventive measures as well as close monitoring post angiography are crucial in the prevention as well as early detection of access-related complications. Management of radial artery pseudoaneurysm should be individualized based on clinical context as well as anatomic characteristics of the pseudoaneurysm.〉.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transradial access (TRA) has been considered as the default choice in cardiac catheterization. Although infrequent, vascular complications of this approach remain. Recently, the distal transradial approach (dTRA) in cardiac catheterization was reported by interventionalists. METHODS We retrieved the relevant literatures and reviewed the safety and feasibility of this novel approach in cardiac catheterization. RESULTS The dTRA for cardiac intervention has superior safety and satisfaction. As a novel approach for cardiac catheterization, access related complications should also be considered by operators, such as RAO, radial spasm, bleeding and haematoma, and injury of the superficial branch of the radial nerve. CONCLUSIONS The dTRA in cardiovascular angiography and intervention was safe and feasible.

Abstract
The transradial approach is recommended as a first choice in coronary catheterizations and interventions, for among other reasons, the reduction in the number of local complications. A head-to-head comparison of the reverse Barbeau test (RBT) and duplex ultrasonography (DUSG) for the detection of post-procedural radial artery patency and occlusion has not yet been evaluated. In 500 patients from our same-day discharge program (age 65 ± 9.4 years, 148 women), radial artery patency and occlusion, compression time, haematomas, and other local complications were evaluated. Radial artery patency was confirmed in 495 patients (99.0%), and complete radial artery occlusion (RAO) was detected in 2 (0.4%) patients using both methods. In 3 patients (0.6%), the RBT was negative, while incomplete RAO was detected by DUSG. Superficial haematomas (˃ 5 but ≤10 cm) were found in 27 (5.4%) patients. There were no other local complications. Detection of radial artery patency and occlusion using the RBT and DUSG was comparable. The incidence of RAO in our study was extremely low. Thanks to its simplicity, the RBT has the potential to be used as the first method of detection of radial occlusion after coronary catheterizations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic radial artery (RA) harvest (ERAH) is an alternative to open RA harvest (ORAH) technique. Our aim was to ascertain clinical outcomes, patent satisfaction, and 1-year angiographic patency rates after ERAH and ORAH. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 50 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were prospectively randomized to two groups. In the ERAH group (25 patients) the RA was harvested endoscopically and in the ORAH group (25 patients) openly. RESULTS There were not differences between the groups in preoperative characteristics. Length of skin incision was shorter in ERAH (P < .001) but there were not differences in the length of RA, harvest time, blood flow, and pulsatility index after ERAH and ORAH. Wound healing was uniformly smooth in ERAH and there were two hematomas and one infection in ORAH. Postoperatively, major neuralgias were present in five patients in ORAH and none in ERAH and minor neuralgias in 11 and 3 patients (P = .02) respectively. Twenty-four patients in ERAH and four in ORAH graded their experience as excellent (P < .001). One-year angiographic RA patency was 90% without intergroup difference. Target vessel stenosis less than 90% adversely affected RA patency (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS In expert center, ERAH does not appear to have negative impact on the time harvest, the length, and quality of RA conduit, the wound healing, and the occurrence of hand and forearm complications. In addition, provides excellent cosmetic result and patient satisfaction. RA graft patency is gratifying when placed to a target coronary artery vessel with stenosis greater than 90%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transradial intervention is increasingly replacing approaches, due to lower access complications, cost, and improved patient satisfaction. There are limited supporting data in the pediatric literature, largely due to concerns regarding arterial size. The objective of this study was to measure radial artery diameters in children across all age groups, to establish reference ranges for clinical use. METHODS This prospective study was carried out in children ≤18 years of age who underwent ultrasound for measuring radial artery diameters from November 2018 to November 2019. The cohort was divided into age groups: ≤2, 3 to 5, 6 to 8, 9 to 11, 12 to 14, 15 to 18 years, and into pre- and post-adolescent (≥12 years) groups. RESULTS One hundred thirty-four children (M:F=63:71) were included, with bilateral measurements resulting in 268 data points. Mean age was 8.9±5.8 years (range, 29 days to 18 years), mean weight 37.2±27.5 kg (range, 1.7-149.1 kg). Mean-corrected radial artery diameter was 1.86±0.44 mm. There was no difference in arterial diameters between males and females (1.90±0.50 versus 1.81±0.53 mm; P=0.73) or between right and left sides (1.87±0.46 versus 1.87±0.47, P=0.98). There was a strong correlation of diameter with age (R=0.75; P<0.00001) and weight (R=0.74; P<0.00001). There was linear increase in arterial growth rates in early childhood, followed by plateauing to adult sizes in adolescents. Inter-reader agreement was 0.95. CONCLUSIONS We provide a reference range for radial artery diameters across childhood ages, which can be used for decision-making. This could be the basis for designing a trial of transradial intervention in children, to establish clinical safety and efficacy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate efficacy and safety of Railway Sheathless Access System™ (Railway) in the first 200 consecutive cases at our center. BACKGROUND Transradial Intervention (TRI) is limited by the frequent occurrence of spasm, radial artery occlusion (RAO) and inability to use larger guide catheters (GC). The small size of radial artery (RA) is the primary reason for these limitations. Railway allows downsizing by sheathless GC access with GC of any shape or brand. METHODS Procedural and clinical variables were recorded prospectively for every case with intended use of Railway in the medical records. Hospital wide documentation of arm pain, radial spasm and pre-discharge evaluation of RAO with reverse Barbeau's test was performed by nurses. We retrospectively reviewed the data of the first consecutive 200 cases with the intended use of the Railway. RESULTS Railway was used successfully to complete intended procedure in 199 (99.5%) of the 200 patients. Railway was used with a 6 Fr (171) or 7 Fr (29) GC of various shapes to achieve sheathless access in 197 patients and for tracking the GC through severe RA tortuosity or mitral paravalvular leak in the rest. Three patients (1.5%) had spasm and forearm pain, two (1%) patients had small (<5 cm) hematoma, while one (0.5%) patient required access switch over and subsequently had RAO. CONCLUSION Railway Sheathless Access System can be used routinely for TRI with high success rate and low complication rate.

Abstract
Objective: Although prevention of radial artery thrombosis and cardiac complications after interventions using radial access is well investigated, there is yet no clinical study that completely evaluated access-related complications. However, there is still no consensus on what exact treatment should be used in these patients. In clinical practice, analgesic, anticoagulant, and antiplatelet treatments usually improve symptoms in patients with pain; however, in some patients, complaints may persist and may not respond to these treatments. In these patients, low-risk embolectomy with a small skin incision may be beneficial. Methods: A total of 102 patients with radial artery thrombosis after cardiac catheterization were included in the study between 2016 March and 2018 December. After the patients’ initial evaluation, anticoagulation with enoxaparin or tinzaparin and antiplatelet therapy with acetylsalicylic acid and oral/local analgesic/anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic therapy were administered for 1 month. Patients whose symptoms resolved after medical treatment were followed up as outpatients. Embolectomy was performed in consenting patients who did not respond to the medical treatment. Results: Of 102 patients included in the study, 33 underwent embolectomy, whereas 69 received only medical treatment. None of the patients experienced any complications, morbidity, or mortality in the peroperative period and during the medical treatment. The pretreatment symptom scores of patients who actively use their hands in daily life and profession were significantly higher than the scores of patients who are relatively less active ( P = .013). Pretreatment symptom scores were negatively correlated with age ( r = −0.584); symptom scores increased significantly with the decrease of patient age. No benefit from medical treatment and need for surgery was significantly greater in patients who are younger and use their hands actively in daily life and profession ( P = .028). The decrease in symptom scores after treatment was significantly greater in the surgical group than in the medical group ( P = .003). Conclusion: Radial access should be exercised with care in patients who may develop significant thrombosis-related complaints and it is necessary to decide whether radial access is essential. If patients have ongoing symptoms despite medical treatment, embolectomy can be considered as a treatment option.
