CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024; 65:67-72. [PMID: 38485596 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2024.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The characterization of radial artery perforation (RAP) patterns using optical coherence tomography (OCT) has not been well established. This study aimed to identify the characteristic RAP patterns in patients diagnosed through post-procedural OCT examination. METHODS This retrospective study included 1936 consecutive patients who underwent radial artery (RA) OCT following OCT-guided transradial coronary intervention (TRI) from January 2016 to July 2022. Data regarding RAP characteristics were collected through OCT, including the perforation site as well as dimensions such as the length, width, and arc. Furthermore, RAP types were classified as small or large perforations, with a cut-off arc value of ≤90°. RESULTS RAP, as identified by RA angiography (RAA) during TRI and on post-procedural OCT, was found in 16 out of 1936 patients (0.83 %). RA OCT imaging showed that the median distance between the RA ostium and the perforation site, the perforation length, width, and arc were 30.6 (14.4-42.2) mm, 1.55 (1.03-1.92) mm, 0.74 (0.60-1.14) mm, and 42.5 (25.0-58.1) °, respectively. Small perforations (arc ≤90°) were observed in 14 out of the 16 (87.5 %) patients with RAP. Post-procedural RAA revealed that 15 out of the 16 (93.7 %) patients with RAP had sealed perforations, with the remaining patient requiring external compression. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrated that RAP is uncommon during TRI, with clearly defined characteristic patterns on OCT. Most RAPs are small and tend to spontaneous seal through catheter tamponade.

Current alternatives to traditional radial approach for coronary interventions: A randomized prospective study of the ulnar and distal radial approaches. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2024; 104:44-53.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The radial artery is the standard access for coronary intervention; however, it is essential to have alternative accesses as it may be used as a conduit during coronary artery bypass grafting or for dialysis fistula. Ulnar and distal radial artery accesses have emerged as alternative accesses for traditional radial artery. AIM To compare distal radial artery access and ulnar artery access as alternatives to traditional radial artery access regarding safety, efficacy, and success rate. METHODS Two-hundred patients were included (100 traditional radial [TRA], 50 distal radial [DRA] and 50 ulnar). Access artery follow up ultrasound was performed up to 28 days. RESULTS Procedural success rate was 97%, 74%, and 92% in the TRA, DRA and ulnar groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Crossover occurred in 3 patients (3%) in TRA, 13 patients (26%) in DRA and 4 cases (8%) in ulnar group (p < 0.001). The most common cause of crossover was failure of artery cannulation. Regarding cannulation time, the mean access time in seconds was 80.19 ± 25.98, 148.4 ± 29.60, 90.5 ± 21.84 in TRA, DRA and ulnar groups, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our study concluded that these new approaches proved to be potential alternatives to traditional radial approach; however, ulnar artery access proved to be superior to distal radial artery access as regards success rate and cannulation time.

Ultrasound Guidance for Transradial Access in the Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Meta-Analysis. Heart Lung Circ 2024:S1443-9506(24)00617-6. [PMID: 38871531 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2024.04.308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although ultrasound (US) guidance for vascular access has been widely adopted, its use for transradial access (TRA) in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory is rare. There is a perception that US guidance does not offer a clinically relevant benefit over traditional palpation-guided TRA, amplified by inconsistent findings of individual studies. METHOD A systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library identified studies comparing US to palpation-guided TRA for cardiac catheterisation. Studies evaluating radial artery (RA) cannulation for any other reason were excluded. Event rates and risk ratios (RRs) were pooled for meta-analysis. Access failure was the primary outcome. A random-effects model was used for analysis. RESULTS Of the 977 records screened, four studies with a total of 1,718 patients (861 US-guided and 864 palpation-guided procedures) were included in the meta-analysis. Most procedures were elective. The pooled analysis showed US guidance significantly lowered the risk of access failure (RR 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.21-0.97; p=0.04). Heterogeneity was moderate (I2=51.2%; p=0.105). There was a strong trend to improved first-pass success with US (RR 1.29; 95% CI 1.00-1.66; p=0.05; I2=83.8%), although no differences were found in rates of difficult access (RR 0.29; 95% CI 0.07-1.18; p=0.09; I2=88.3%). Salvage US guidance was successful in 30/41 (73.2%) patients following failed palpation-guided TRA. No differences were found in already low complication rates including RA spasm (RR 1.18; 95% CI 0.70-1.99; p=0.53; I2=0.0%) and bleeding (RR 1.32; 95% CI 0.46-3.80; p=0.60; I2=0.0%). CONCLUSIONS US guidance was found to improve TRA success in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory. Further investigation is necessary to determine whether routine, selective, or salvage use of US confers the most RA protection, patient satisfaction, and overall clinical benefit.

Incidence and Prognostic Factors of Radial Artery Occlusion in Transradial Coronary Catheterization. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3276. [PMID: 38892987 PMCID: PMC11173088 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13113276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most common complication of transradial coronary catheterization. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the incidence of RAO and identify the risk factors that predispose patients to it. Methods: We conducted an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, open-label study involving 1357 patients who underwent cardiac catheterization via the transradial route for angiography and/or a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify potential predictors of RAO occurrence. Additionally, a subgroup analysis only for patients undergoing PCIs was performed. Results: The incidence of RAO was 9.5% overall, 10.6% in the angiography-only group and 6.2% in the PCI group. Independent predictors of RAO were as follows: (i) the female gender (aOR = 1.72 (1.05-2.83)), (ii) access site cross-over (aOR = 4.33 (1.02-18.39)), (iii) increased total time of the sheath in the artery (aOR = 1.01 (1.00-1.02)), (iv) radial artery spasms (aOR = 2.47 (1.40-4.36)), (v) the presence of a hematoma (aOR = 2.28 (1.28-4.06)), (vi) post-catheterization dabigatran use (aOR = 5.15 (1.29-20.55)), (vii) manual hemostasis (aOR = 1.94 (1.01-3.72)) and (viii) numbness at radial artery ultrasound (aOR = 8.25 (1.70-40)). Contrariwise, two variables were independently associated with increased odds for radial artery patency (RAP): (i) PCI performance (aOR = 0.19 (0.06-0.63)), and (ii) a higher dosage of intravenous heparin per patient weight (aOR = 0.98 (0.96-0.99)), particularly, a dosage of >50 IU/kg (aOR = 0.56 (0.31-1.00)). In the PCI subgroup, independent predictors of RAO were as follows: (i) radial artery spasms (aOR = 4.48 (1.42-14.16)), (ii) the use of intra-arterial nitroglycerin as a vasodilator (aOR = 7.40 (1.67-32.79)) and (iii) the presence of symptoms at echo (aOR = 3.80 (1.46-9.87)), either pain (aOR = 2.93 (1.05-8.15)) or numbness (aOR = 4.66 (1.17-18.57)). On the other hand, the use of intra-arterial verapamil as a vasodilator (aOR = 0.17 (0.04-0.76)) was independently associated with a greater frequency of RAP. Conclusions: The incidence of RAO in an unselected, all-comers European population after transradial coronary catheterization for angiography and/or PCIs is similar to that reported in the international literature. Several RAO prognostic factors have been confirmed, and new ones are described. The female gender, radial artery trauma and manual hemostasis are the strongest predictors of RAO. Our results could help in the future identification of patients at higher risk of RAO, for whom less invasive diagnostic procedures maybe preferred, if possible.

Abstract
The present study investigated the relationship between pre-procedural radial intima-media thickness (rIMT) and radial artery thrombosis (RAO) in patients undergoing angiography using a transradial approach (TRA). Patients (n = 90) who underwent cerebral or peripheral arterial angiography using TRA were included in the study. Ultrasonographic evaluation was performed before and 12 h after the procedure. Preoperative rIMT measurement was performed at the distal radial artery. Presence of radial artery occlusion was evaluated by ultrasonography after radial catheterization and revealed occlusive thrombus in the radial artery in 13 patients. rIMT was found to be statistically significantly higher in patients with thrombus (P < .05). When it was evaluated whether there was a correlation between age and rIMT, a positive significant correlation was found (P < .01). Our study suggests that increase of rIMT may be a risk factor for RAO in the intervention area. Before the procedure, ultrasound (US) assessment of the radial artery may be useful in determining the risk of occlusion. Thus, RAO-related technical risk factors (procedure time, number of punctures, sheath thickness, etc.) can be managed more carefully in patients having radial angiography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radial artery access has been used for left heart catheterization (LHC) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for over 30 years. This method has gained popularity among operators due to superficial vessel anatomy, allowing for easy accessibility and compressibility, resulting in effective hemostasis. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent PCI due to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), and chest pain (stable angina) from November 2013 to February 2023. RESULTS We analyzed validated registries and found 7714 PCIs. Of these, 1230 were STEMI patients, 5585 were NSTE-ACS patients, and 899 were stable angina patients, forming the basis of our final analysis. In STEMI patients, there was a trend toward a higher rate of ventriculography with femoral access compared to radial access (53.4 % vs. 47.5 %, p = 0.06), which was also observed in NSTE-ACS patients (34.2 % vs. 31.8 %, p = 0.07). The use of central venous access was more common with femoral access in all three diagnoses, with significantly higher rates seen in STEMI patients (36.2 % vs. 7.6 %, p < 0.001), NSTE-ACS patients (19.3 % vs. 2.8 %, p < 0.001), and chest pain patients (26.4 % vs. 2.7 %, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The analysis revealed that operators may perform fewer ventriculography and RHC procedures when using radial access as compared to femoral access. While there is discrepancy in performing left ventriculography and RHC when using a radial artery, it is essential to emphasize that routinely performing ventriculography and hemodynamic assessment has not proven to impact outcomes, despite their contributions to proper decision-making and treatment.

Abstract
Transradial access has become the most commonly used method for cardiac catheterization. Many medical and technical applications have been proposed to reduce TRA complications. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of hand dominance on radial artery spasm and radial artery occlusionin subjects undergoing CC via TRA. Between April 2020 and August 2022, 1713 subjects who underwent CC via TRA were included in the study. Patient data were obtained in terms of hand dominance of the catheterized side and RAS and RAO during a 1-month follow-up period. RAS was seen in 9.6% of the subjects. The RAS in patients catheterized by the dominant hand was significantly higher than that performed by the non-dominant hand (12 vs 7.8%; P = .004). RAO was seen in 1% of the subjects. RAO was significantly higher in the spasm side than in the no-spasm side (3 vs .8%; P = .009). Hand dominance was determined as an independent predictor of radial artery spasm (P = .006). In our study, RAS and RAO were more common on the dominant hand side than on the non-dominant side. Choosing the non-dominant hand for TRA for CC may reduce the incidence of RAS and RAO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The radial first approach in cardiac catheterization is preferred for its benefits in patient comfort and recovery time. Yet, challenges persist due to characteristics like small, deep, calcified, and mobile radial arteries. Utilizing ultrasound before and during procedures can improve success rates. However, the adoption of its use is still limited and subject to debate. AIM To utilize routine preprocedural ultrasound (US) and compare US guided with palpation guided radial access, focusing on operator efficiency and outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS Consenting adult patients undergoing elective radial cardiac catheterization were divided into palpation and US groups. Routine preprocedural assessment of radial artery characteristics was performed using handheld US. Baseline data, US findings, procedural outcomes, and clinical outcomes were compared in 182 participants (91 in each group). US guided radial access had significantly higher first pass success rates (76.92% vs. 49.45%, p 0.0001), fewer number of attempts (1.46 ± 1 vs. 1.99 ± 1.46, p 0.004), and shorter amount of time (93.62 ± 44.04 vs. 120.44 ± 67.1, p 0.002) compared with palpation guidance. The palpation group had significantly higher incidence of spasm (15.38% vs. 3.3%, p 0.0052). Subgroup analysis indicated consistent benefits of US guidance, especially in calcified radial arteries. CONCLUSION This prospective, nonrandomized, single-center study demonstrated that real-time procedural US improved the operator's time and effort and enhanced patient comfort compared with palpation. US guidance use was particularly favorable in the presence of calcifications observed on baseline preoperative US.

PURPOSE To compare prostatic artery embolization (PAE) via transradial access (TRA-PAE) versus transfemoral access (TFA-PAE) to assist access selection. MATERIAL AND METHODS Procedural outcomes and adverse events were evaluated in 998 patients who underwent PAE at a single center from April 2014 to August 2022; 821 (82%) underwent TRA-PAE (Group R) and 177 (18%) underwent TFA-PAE (Group F). Mean age and prostate size of Groups R and F were 69.2 years (SD ± 8.4) and 117.4 g (SD ± 63.1) and 75.2 years (SD ± 12.1) and 127.2 g (SD ± 83.6), respectively (P < .01 and P = .16; postpropensity matching: P = .38 and P = .35, respectively). Indications for PAE included lower urinary tract symptoms, acute or chronic urinary retention, and hematuria. Procedural and patient-specific metrics were reviewed. Technical success was defined as bilateral PAE. Adverse events were recorded according to the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) adverse events classification. Statistical significance was defined as P < .05. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in 798 (97.2%) patients in Group R and 165 (93.2%) patients in Group F. Mean procedural time, single- and continuous-rotation fluoroscopy time, dose area product, and air kerma were significantly lower in Group R than in Group F (P < .001). Moreover, 6 (0.7%) patients in Group R and 9 (5.5%) patients in Group F had access site ecchymoses, whereas 5 (0.6%) patients in Group R and 6 (3.6%) in Group F had access site hematomas. Two patients experienced transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) after TRA-PAE and recovered without intervention. Two occult radial artery occlusions were noted, but no patient experienced hand ischemia. CONCLUSIONS In a large single interventional radiologist cohort, TRA-PAE demonstrated similar technical success to that of TFA-PAE with lower access site hemorrhagic complications and radiation requirements; however, TIA and occult radial artery occlusions remain a concern.

Comparison of Long-Term Prognoses of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention via Distal Transradial and Conventional Transradial Access for Acute Coronary Syndrome. Hellenic J Cardiol 2024:S1109-9666(24)00056-3. [PMID: 38453013 DOI: 10.1016/j.hjc.2024.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Distal transradial access (dTRA) has recently emerged as a new vascular access alternative for coronary angiography (CAG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, published data on long-term mortality and major adverse cardiac events after PCI via dTRA are inconclusive. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term prognoses of PCI via dTRA and conventional transradial access (cTRA) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after 1-3 years of follow-up. METHODS Patients who were diagnosed with ACS and underwent PCI between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021, were retrospectively enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups at a 1:1 ratio, subjected to propensity score matching (PSM) and then followed for 1-3 years after PCI. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to evaluate the relationship between the two access sites and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Among the 550 patients in the dTRA and cTRA groups, 11 (4.0%) and 19 (6.9%) died during the observation period, respectively. dTRA and cTRA had similar risks of all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) =0.688; 95% CI=0.323-1.463; P=0.331] and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs, HR=0.806, 95% CI= 0.515-1.263; P=0.347) after PCI. The risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR=0.330, 95% CI= 0.107-1.105; P=0.053), TLR-MACEs (HR= 0.587, 95% CI=0.339-1.109; P=0.058), and unplanned revascularization (HR= 0.860, 95% CI=0.483-1.529; P=0.606) were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS PCI via dTRA has the same long-term prognoses as PCI via cTRA in ACS patients, and the compression time and bleeding rate are lower than those in patients undergoing PCI via cTRA.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a growing interest in performing coronary artery and neurovascular interventions via the radial artery; however, few studies have examined the outcomes of transradial carotid stenting. Therefore, our study aimed to compare cerebrovascular outcomes and crossover rates in carotid stenting between transradial and traditional transfemoral approaches. METHODS A systematic review was performed by searching three electronic databases from inception to June 2022 in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. In addition, random effect meta-analysis was used to pool the odds ratios (ORs) for stroke, transient ischemic attack, major adverse cardiac events, death, major vascular access site complications, and procedure crossover rates between the transradial and transfemoral approaches. RESULTS A total of 6 studies were included involving a total of n = 567 transradial and n = 6176 transfemoral procedures. The ORs for stroke, transient ischemic attack, and major adverse cardiac events were 1.43 (95% confidence interval, CI 0.72-2.86, I2 = 0), 0.51 (95% CI 0.17-1.54, I2 = 0), and 1.08 (95% CI 0.62-1.86, I2 = 0), respectively. Neither the major vascular access site complication rate (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.32-3.87, I2 = 0) nor crossover rate (OR 3.94, 95% CI 0.62-25.11, I2 = 57%) showed statistically significant differences between the two approaches. CONCLUSION The modest quality of the data suggested comparable procedural outcomes between the transradial and transfemoral approaches when performing carotid stenting; however, high level evidence regarding postoperative brain images and risk of stroke in transradial carotid stenting are lacking. Therefore, it is reasonable for interventionists to weigh up the risks of neurological events and potential benefits, including fewer access site complications, before choosing the radial or femoral arteries as access sites. Future large-scale randomized controlled trials are imperative.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This retrospective study investigated the effectiveness and safety of left distal transradial access (LDTRA) in patients with cardiovascular disease in Trinidad undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHOD Procedural parameters, including technical success and safety outcomes such as vascular complications and radial artery occlusion (RAO), were assessed in 111 consecutive patients undergoing CAG or PCI from January 2023 to June 2023 at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Trinidad and Tobago. Eighty-eight patients underwent LDTRA, while 23 received left transradial access (LTRA). RESULTS There was no difference in procedural success with LDTRA compared to LTRA, 90.9% vs. 100%, p-value 0.202, non-significant (ns). LDTRA was associated with shorter fluoroscopy times (8.4 ± 6.8 minutes vs. 12.4 ± 7.7 minutes, p-value = 0.02), procedural duration (26.7 ± 18 minutes vs. 35.8 ± 20 minutes, p-value = 0.04), and hemostasis time (142 ± 41 minutes vs. 186 ± 44 minutes, p-value < 0.05). There were no significant differences in procedural-related complications (8% for LDTRA vs. 4.3% for LTRA, p-value = 0.476, ns). There were no reported cases of RAO. In the subgroup of patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the fluoroscopy and procedure times were similar for both access sites; however, LDTRA was associated with a shorter hemostasis time (128 ± 30 minutes vs. 194 ± 39 minutes, p-value = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS LDTRA is effective and safe for coronary procedures and is associated with a shorter hemostasis time. This study may prove clinically pertinent in a limited-resource Caribbean setting.

Abstract
The introduction of transradial access for percutaneous coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures has led to a decrease in access site complications. The aim of this paper is to propose a combined stepwise technical approach where real time ultrasound ("echo-first" approach) can be used to select the best vascular access and, together with angiography, to manage the potential obstacles that may occur during transradial procedures. In each section, we summarize some tips and tricks based on both our experience and current literature that can be easily implemented in daily practice to increase the success of transradial procedures.

Abstract
Background Radial artery cannulation is an invasive procedure commonly performed in patients in the perioperative time, in the intensive care unit, and in other critical care settings. The current study aimed to explore the preoperative risk factors associated with difficult radial artery cannulation and develop a nomogram model for adult patients undergoing major surgery. This nomogram may optimize preoperative clinical decision-making, thereby reducing the number of puncture attempts and preventing associated complications. Methods This was a single-center prospective cohort study. Between December 2021 and May 2022, 530 adult surgical patients were enrolled. The patients were randomized into the training and validation cohorts at a ratio of 8:2. Radial artery cannulation was performed before the induction of anesthesia. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify variables that were significantly associated with difficult radial artery cannulation. These variables were then incorporated into the nomogram. The discrimination and calibration abilities of the nomogram were assessed. Results One hundred and seventy-three (41.7 %) patients in the training cohort had difficult radial artery cannulation. Based on multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors were wrist circumference, anatomical abnormalities, BMI <18.5 kg/m2, grade II hypertension, hypotension, and history of chemotherapy and stroke. The concordance indices were 0.765 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.719-0.812) and 0.808 (95 % CI: 0.725-0.890) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The calibration curve showed good agreement between the actual and predicted risks. Conclusions A preoperative predictive model for difficult radial artery cannulation in adult patients undergoing surgery was developed and validated. This model can provide reliable data for optimizing preoperative clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Radial artery occlusion (RAO) has been the most common postprocedural complication of transradial artery access. The optimal method of prevention of RAO is still lacking. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of patent hemostasis on early (24 hours) and late (2 weeks) RAO prevention. The Open Radial Artery Study was a single-arm, prospective, and multicenter study. The primary end points were early and late RAO at the vascular access site after transradial coronary procedures. Secondary end points were access site hematoma, pseudoaneurysm formation, arteriovenous fistula, and nerve injury. A total of 2,181 patients were analyzed (67% male, mean age 68 years). The mean interventional duration and hemostatic times were 75.6 ± 55.6 and 60 ± 5.6 minutes, respectively. Radial artery spasm occurred in 10% of patients (n = 218). Catheter kinking, radial artery rupture, or dissection were not observed during the procedure. RAO, hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, or nerve damage was not observed in any of the patients in the early or late period. In patients who undergo coronary diagnostic or interventional procedures through transradial artery access, the patent hemostasis method seems a critical step in the prevention of early and late RAO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the relationship between using a rotary compression device (RCD) with or without sterile gauze and adverse events in transradial access (TRA) for coronary intervention. METHODS In this study involving 933 patients at Yueyang Hospital, we recorded TRA-related adverse events, such as bleeding, forearm hematoma, swollen palms, radial artery occlusion (RAO) and others. Logistic regression was applied to assess the association. RESULTS Of the 933 patients (66.7% males, average age 67.8 years), 511 used RCD with sterile gauze, whereas 422 used RCD without sterile gauze. The most common adverse events were radial artery hemorrhage (7.4%), hand swelling (4.8%) and RAO (4.6%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the use of RCD with sterile gauze was associated with a higher prevalence of adverse events [odds ratio (OR), 1.74; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.22-2.49), even with the adjustment of potential confounders (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.19-2.45). Moreover, patients who used RCD with sterile gauze exhibited an increased risk of radial artery hemorrhage (OR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.07-3.12), swelling of the hand (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.02-3.75) and RAO (OR, 3.17; 95% CI, 1.49-6.72). CONCLUSIONS The use of RCD with sterile gauze in TRA is associated with a higher incidence of adverse events.

Abstract
During intravascular interventional surgery, the 3D surgical navigation system can provide doctors with 3D spatial information of the vascular lumen, reducing the impact of missing dimension caused by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) guidance and further improving the success rate of surgeries. Nevertheless, this task often comes with the challenge of complex registration problems due to vessel deformation caused by respiratory motion and high requirements for the surgical environment because of the dependence on external electromagnetic sensors. This article proposes a novel 3D spatial predictive positioning navigation (SPPN) technique to predict the real-time tip position of surgical instruments. In the first stage, we propose a trajectory prediction algorithm integrated with instrumental morphological constraints to generate the initial trajectory. Then, a novel hybrid physical model is designed to estimate the trajectory's energy and mechanics. In the second stage, a point cloud clustering algorithm applies multi-information fusion to generate the maximum probability endpoint cloud. Then, an energy-weighted probability density function is introduced using statistical analysis to achieve the prediction of the 3D spatial location of instrument endpoints. Extensive experiments are conducted on 3D-printed human artery and vein models based on a high-precision electromagnetic tracking system. Experimental results demonstrate the outstanding performance of our method, reaching 98.2% of the achievement ratio and less than 3 mm of the average positioning accuracy. This work is the first 3D surgical navigation algorithm that entirely relies on vascular interventional robot sensors, effectively improving the accuracy of interventional surgery and making it more accessible for primary surgeons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral angiography has two common access sites: Transradial approach and transfemoral approach. However, there's no definitive answer to which one is superior. OBJECTIVE Compare transradial approach and transfemoral approach for a cerebral angiography procedure. METHODS A systematic review of the literature of studies reporting both transradial approach and transfemoral approach results was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase were queried. RESULTS The meta-analysis examined 18 studies comprising 9388 patients undergoing cerebral angiography. Among the patients, 4598 underwent transradial approach (48.9%) and 4790 underwent transfemoral approach (51.1%). Our results revealed no statistical differences between the approaches regarding procedure success, crossover to transfemoral approach, procedure and fluoroscopy time between both approaches in cerebral angiography. Total, major, and minor complications comparisons were more favorable to transradial approach for this procedure. CONCLUSION These findings suggest, despite the ultimate decision regarding the choice of access method might be influenced by the physician's experience and personal preference, the data distinctly lean toward transradial approach as the preferable option for cerebral angiography. The advantages of transradial approach, highlighted by its lower complication rates, especially major complications, suggest that its adoption could contribute to enhanced patient safety and procedural outcomes.

Abstract
Transradial access (TRA) is a safe and comfortable approach and the preferred access for percutaneous coronary intervention. However, TRA is not widely used for peripheral interventions. Currently, there is a lack of data on patient selection, appropriate medical devices, complication prevention, and TRA adoption. Therefore, the Chinese Society of Interventional Oncology of the China Anti-Cancer Association organized nationwide experts to establish a Working Group of China Expert Consensus on TRA in percutaneous peripheral interventions in 2022, and jointly formulated this consensus to better promote the application of TRA in peripheral interventions to guide clinicians on patient selection, technical recommendations, and physician training. This consensus mainly focuses on the current situation, advantages and limitations of TRA in peripheral interventions, anatomical characteristics of the radial artery, patient selection, technical aspects, prevention and management of complications, radiation dose, and learning curve. A consensus was reached through a literature evaluation and by referring to the opinions of the expert group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although there are cardiac interventional procedures, certain transradial access complications might be life-threatening. CASE PRESENTATION A 67-year-old male was admitted for coronary angiography due to chest tightness and shortness of breath on exertion. Hours after the right transradial access angiography, the patients complained the right side of chest pain. Emergent chest X-ray revealed a giant mass in the right chest. The right radial artery was reaccessed and subsequent arteriograms confirmed that the presence of a rupture of the branch of right internal mammary artery. Simultaneously, a microcoil was implanted to seal the perforation. The perforation caused a thoracic hematoma measuring 13.8 cm × 6.7 cm, along with a decrease in hemoglobin concentration from 14.1 g/dL to a minimum of 7.8 g/dL. Additionally, the drainage of the hematoma and red blood cells transfusion were carried out. Further, the patient underwent ascending aortic replacement, aortic valve replacement, mitral valve replacement, and thoracic hematoma removal. Postoperative echocardiography showed that the prosthetic valves were properly positioned and functioning normally. The patient recovered well after the surgery and remained event-free during the latest 14moth follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Vascular perforation and subsequent hematoma might occur due to guidewire maneuvering during transradial approach. Awareness of prevention, early recognition and management of access complications may help reduce the occurrence and severity of complications related to the transradial approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transradial artery access (TRA) for neurointerventional procedures is gaining widespread acceptance. However, complications that were previously rare may arise as TRA procedures increase. Here we report a series of retained catheter cases with a literature review. METHODS All patients who underwent a neurointerventional procedure during a 23-month period at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed for a retained catheter in TRA cases. In cases of retained catheters, imaging was reviewed for anatomical variances in the radial artery, and clinical and demographic case details were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 1386 nondiagnostic neurointerventional procedures were performed during the study period, 631 (46%) initially via TRA. The 631 TRA cases were performed for aneurysm embolization (n=221, 35%), mechanical thrombectomy (n=116, 18%), carotid stent/angioplasty (n=40, 6%), arteriovenous malformation embolization (n=38, 6%), and other reasons (n=216, 34%). Thirty-nine (6%) TRA procedures crossed over to femoral access, most commonly because the artery of interest could not be catheterized (26/39, 67%). A retained catheter was identified in five cases (1%), and one (0.2%) patient had an entrapped catheter that was recovered. All six patients with a retained or entrapped catheter had aberrant radial anatomy. CONCLUSION Retained catheters for neurointerventional procedures performed via TRA are rare. However, this complication may be associated with variant radial anatomy. With the increased use of TRA for neurointerventional procedures, awareness of anatomical abnormalities that may lead to a retained catheter is necessary. We propose a simple protocol to avoid catheter entrapment, including in emergent situations such as TRA for stroke thrombectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate if applying a finger exercise during trans-radial coronary artery angiography (CAG) could help to reduce a patient's painfulness and evaluate its protective effects against radial artery complications. METHODS This is a prospective, controlled, single-center trial. Overall, 390 patients who underwent coronary angiography through radial path in our hospital during 2022 were randomized 1 : 1 to the following two groups: test group: finger exercise in addition to routine perioperative care; control group: routine care. The success rate of radial puncture, the incidence of procedural radial artery dissection (RAD) and radial artery spasm (RAS), change of wrist circumference, pain degree related to the operation, occurrence of access site hemorrhagic complications, hemostasis time and postprocedure occurrence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) before discharge were recorded and compared between two groups. RESULTS Compared to the control group, the test group had a higher success rate of radial puncture, lower incidence of RAS, RAD and RAO, slighter swelling of wrist and patients who felt less pain in the test group. There was no difference in prolonged hemostasis time or hemorrhagic complications between the two groups. CONCLUSION Finger exercise could help to make a patient more comfortable and reduce radial artery complications related to CAG.

Abstract
PURPOSE The transradial approach (TRA) in neuroendovascular treatment is known to have a lower risk of complications than the transfemoral approach (TFA). However, little research has focused on assessments of efficacy and risk of complications in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and complications of TRA and TFA in coil embolization of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) at our institution. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent endovascular surgery via TRA or TFA at a single institution from 1 April 2019, to 28 February 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were classified into TRA and TFA groups and assessed using propensity-adjusted analysis for outcomes including fluoroscopy time, volume embolization ratio (VER), and complications. RESULTS A total of 163 consecutive UIAs were treated with coil embolization during the 35-months study period. The incidence of minor access site complications (ASCs) was significantly higher with TFA (20%, 25/126) than with TRA (2.7%, 1/37; p = 0.01). Propensity-adjusted analysis (matched for age, sex, aneurysm volume, embolization technique, and sheath size) revealed that TRA was associated with a lower risk of minor ASCs (odds ratio, 0.085; 95% confidence interval 0.0094-0.78; p = 0.029). However, TRA did not differ significantly from TFA with respect to fluoroscopy time, VER, major ASCs, and non-ASCs. CONCLUSIONS Coil embolization for UIAs via TRA can reduce risk of minor ASCs without increasing the risk of non-ASCs compared with conventional TFA, and can achieve comparable results in term of efficacy and fluoroscopy time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Locating the radial artery reliably is a key challenge in reducing patient risks from complications in Trans-Radial Access, which is an important clinical method for catheterization, cardiac monitoring, and neuroendovascular procedures. New tactile sensing technology is being developed to bridge the skill, cost, and performance gap between ultrasonic needle guidance, and manual palpation, for use in developing countries. This paper further develops tactile artery localization with a novel algorithm for arterial localization based on the properties of a curved tactile sensor array. METHODS Using tactile sensor insensitivity to shear loading, coupled with a radial pulse wave propagation path, the position of the artery can be found at the intersection of a normal and tangential vector from the array corresponding to maximum and minimum pulse pressure measurement locations respectively. This was validated in a simple silicone phantom study Results: The proposed method measured with MAE= 0.58±0.25mm whilst the artery is within range of the tactile array, compared with 0.81±0.57mm for a comparative method of simple pulse localization. This showed improvement in arterial localization and repeatability, and was within 1 arterial radius, expected to reduce the risk of missing the artery, or perforating the side wall.Clinical Relevance- Robust and repeatable arterial localization is important for reducing the failure rate of trans-radial (and other arterial) procedures, and thus reducing the risk of harmful complications.

Abstract
Τransradial artery access has recently gained widespread acceptance as the preferred approach for coronary angiography and interventions, due to its lower incidence of bleeding and vascular complications compared to transfemoral access. However, thrombotic occlusion of the radial artery has emerged as the most common complication of this method, impeding its use in future interventions, and in the creation of arteriovenous fistulae for hemodialysis patients, or as a graft for coronary artery bypasses grafting. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the anatomy of the radial artery, the pathophysiology and diagnosis of radial artery occlusion, the identification of potential risk factors and, finally, prevention and treatment strategies. We acknowledge that distal transradial access provides an effective alternative for coronary angiography and catheterizations, with a reduced incidence of radial artery occlusion.

BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:228. [PMID: 37391714 PMCID: PMC10311751 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02168-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the short-term complications of arterial cannulation for intraoperative monitoring and their related risk factors. METHODS We included adult inpatients (≥ 18 years old) who underwent an initial transradial access (TRA) cannulation and were scheduled for general surgery between April 8 and November 30, 2020. We used 20G arterial puncture needles for puncturing and manual compression for hemostasis. Demographic, clinical, surgical, anesthetic, and laboratory data were extracted from electronic medical records. Vascular, neurologic, and infectious complications of TRA cannulation were recorded and analyzed. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors related to TRA cannulation for intraoperative monitoring. RESULTS Among 509 included patients, 174 developed TRA cannulation-related complications. Puncture site bleeding/hematoma and median nerve injury were observed in 158 (31.0%) and 16 (3.1%) patients, respectively. No patient developed cannula-related infections. Logistic regression analysis revealed increased odds of puncture site bleeding/hematoma in women (odds ratio 4.49, 95% CI 2.73-7.36; P < 0.001) and patients who received intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) suspension transfusion ≥ 4U (odds ratio 5.26, 95% CI 1.41-19.57; P = 0.01). No risk factors for nerve injury were identified. CONCLUSION Bleeding/hematoma were a common complication of TRA cannulation for intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring during general surgery. Median nerve injury may be an under recognized complication. Female sex and extensive intraoperative RBC transfusion are associated with an increased risk of bleeding/hematoma; however, the risk factors for nerve injury remain unclear.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transradial approach (TRA) is a new technique proposed for performing cerebral angiography and neuro-interventional procedures. In this article, we sought to provide a step-by-step guide for carrying out a diagnostic cerebral angiography using this approach and summarize our center's experience. MATERIAL AND METHODS Records of patients since January 2020 were investigated, and data on demographic indices, reports of the procedures, outcomes, and complications were extracted. Then, these data were used to develop a step-by-step instruction for TRA cerebral angiography. RESULTS Two hundred eighty-nine patients matched our eligibility criteria with a mean age of 50 years and a female-to-male ratio of 1.18. Overall, TRA was carried out successfully for 97.2% (281 patients). In case TRA failed, transfemoral approach was considered for the procedure. Three minor complications (two vasospasm and one small hematoma) and two major complications (one pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery and one radial artery avulsion) were observed. CONCLUSION This article covers challenges a neurointerventionalist may face during a diagnostic cerebral angiography using TRA. Furthermore, our findings indicated that cerebral angiography with TRA might be performed safely and with a great success rate.

Comparison of two techniques of goal directed fluid therapy in elective neurosurgical patients - a randomized controlled study. Br J Neurosurg 2023:1-9. [PMID: 36734344 DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2023.2173722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Goal directed fluid therapy (GDFT) may be a rational approach to adopt in neurosurgical patients, in whom intravascular volume optimization is of utmost importance. Most of the parameters used to guide GDFT are derived invasively. We postulated that the total volume of intraoperative intravenous fluid administered during elective craniotomy for supratentorial brain tumours would be comparable between two groups receiving GDFT guided either by the non-invasively derived plethysmography variability index (PVI) or by stroke volume variation (SVV). METHODS 60 ASA category 1, 2 and 3 patients between 18 and 70 years of age were randomized to receive intraoperative fluid guided either by SVV (SVV group; n = 31) or PVI (PVI group; n = 29). The total volume of fluid administered intraoperatively was recorded. Serum creatinine was measured before the surgery, at the end of the surgery, 24 h after surgery and on the fifth post-operative day. Arterial cannulation was performed before induction in all patients. Serum lactate was measured before induction, once in 2 h intraoperatively, at the end of the surgery and 24 h after the surgery. Brain relaxation score was assessed by the surgeon during dural opening and dural closure. Patients were followed up till discharge or death. The duration of mechanical ventilation and the duration of hospital stay was noted for all patients. RESULTS The volume of fluid given intraoperatively was significantly higher in the SVV group (p = 0.005). The two groups were comparable with respect to serum lactate and serum creatinine measured at pre-determined time intervals. Brain relaxation score was also comparable between the groups. SVV and PVI displayed moderate to strong correlation intraoperatively. The duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of the hospital stay were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS PVI and SVV are equally effective in guiding GDFT in adults undergoing elective craniotomy for supratentorial brain tumours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal duration of hemostatic compression post transradial access is controversial. Longer duration increases the risk of radial artery occlusion (RAO) while shorter duration increases the risk of access site bleeding or hematoma. As such, a target of 2 hours is typically used. Whether a shorter or longer duration is better is not known. METHODS A PubMed, EMBASE, and clinicaltrials.gov databases were searched for randomized clinical trials of different duration (<90 minutes, 90 minutes, 2 hours, and 2-4 hours) of hemostasis banding. The efficacy outcome was RAO, primary safety outcome was access site hematoma, and secondary safety outcome was access site rebleeding. Primary analysis compared the effect of various duration in reference to the 2 hours duration using a mixed treatment comparison meta-analysis. RESULTS Of the 10 randomized clinical trials included with 4911 patients, when compared to the 2-hour reference duration, there was a significantly higher risk of access site hematoma with 90 minutes (odds ratio, 2.39 [95% CI, 1.40-4.06]) and <90 minutes (odds ratio, 3.61 [95% CI, 1.79-7.29]) but not with the 2 to 4 hours duration. When compared with the 2-hour reference, there was no significant difference in access site rebleeding or RAO with shorter or longer duration but the point estimates favored longer duration for access site rebleeding and shorter duration for RAO. Duration of <90 minutes and 90 minutes ranked 1 and duration of 2 hours ranked 2 as the most efficacious duration whereas duration of 2 hours ranked 1 and 2 to 4 hours ranked 2 as the safest duration. CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing transradial access for coronary angiography or intervention, a hemostasis duration of 2 hours offers the best balance for efficacy (prevention of RAO) and safety (prevention of access site hematoma/rebleeding).

Abstract
Balloon-assisted maturation (BAM) of arteriovenous fistulas has conventionally been performed via direct fistula access. The transradial approach has not been well described for BAM, although its use has been reported throughout the cardiology literature. The purpose of the present study was to assess the outcomes of transradial access for its use with BAM. A retrospective review of 205 patients with transradial access for BAM was performed. One sheath was inserted into the radial artery distal to the anastomosis. We have described the procedural details, complications, and outcomes. The procedure was considered technically successful if transradial access had been established and the AVF had been ballooned with at least one balloon without major complications. The procedure was considered clinically successful if no further interventions had been required for AVF maturation. The average time for BAM via transradial access was 35 ± 20 minutes, with 31 ± 17 mL of contrast used. No access-related perioperative complications, including access site hematoma, symptomatic radial artery occlusion, or fistula thrombosis, had occurred. The technical success rate was 100%, and the rate of clinical success was 78%, with 45 patients requiring additional procedures to achieve maturation. Transradial access is an efficient alternative to trans-fistula access for BAM. It is technically easier and allows for better visualization of the anastomosis.

Use of the Sheathless Eaucath Is an Effective Strategy to Overcome Resistant Severe Radial Spasm. J Interv Cardiol 2023; 2023:2434516. [PMID: 36873570 PMCID: PMC9977557 DOI: 10.1155/2023/2434516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives We aimed to assess the effectiveness of the sheathless Eaucath guiding catheter (SEGC) in overcoming severe spasm. Background Radial spasm is a frequent challenge in transradial access (TRA) and can be difficult to manage. Methods We performed a prospective observational study of 1000 consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients with primary transfemoral access (TFA) or primary use of a sheathless guide catheter were excluded. Patients who developed angiographically confirmed severe spasm were treated with further sedation and vasodilators. If the conventional catheter would still not advance, it was exchanged for a SEGC. The primary endpoint was the successful passage of the SEGC through the radial with successful engagement of the coronary artery in patients with resistant severe spasm. Results Primary TFA access was used in 58 (5.8%) and primary radial access with a SEGC in 44 (4.4%) patients. Of the remaining 898 patients, 888 (98.9%) had a radial sheath successfully inserted. Of these, 49 (5.5%) developed severe radial spasm with inability to advance the catheter. Following treatment with additional sedation and vasodilators, the severe spasm resolved in 5 (10.2%) patients. Passage of a SEGC was attempted in the remaining 44 patients with resistant severe spasm. Passage of the SEGC and engagement of coronary arteries were successful in all cases. There were no complications related to use of the SEGC. Conclusions Our findings suggest that use of the SEGC for resistant severe spasm is highly effective, safe, and may reduce the need for conversion to TFA.

Abstract
Objective Assess factors contributing to variation in the use of new and evolving diagnostic and interventional procedures for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background Evidence-based practices for PCI have the potential to improve outcomes but are variably adopted. Finding possible drivers of PCI procedure-use variability is key for efforts aimed at establishing more uniform practice. Methods Veterans Affairs Clinical Assessment, Reporting, and Tracking Program data were used to estimate a proportion of variation attributable to hospital-, operator-, and patient-level factors across (a) radial arterial access, (b) intravascular imaging/optical coherence tomography, and (c) atherectomy for PCI. We used random-effects models with hospital, operator, and patient random effects. Overlap between levels generated cumulative variability estimates greater than 100%. Results A total of 445 operators performed 95,391 PCI procedures across 73 hospitals from 2011 to 2018. The rates of all procedures increased over this time. 24.45% of variability in the use of radial access was attributable to the hospital, 53.04% to the operator, and 57.83% to patient-level characteristics. 9.06% of the variability in intravascular imaging use was attributable to the hospital, 43.92% to the operator, and 21.20% to the patient. Lastly, 20.16% of the variability in use of atherectomy was attributed to the hospital, 34.63% to the operator, and 57.50% to the patient. Conclusions The use of radial access, intracoronary imaging, and atherectomy is influenced by patient, operator, and hospital factors, but patient and operator-level effects predominate. Efforts to increase the use of evidence-based practices for PCI should consider interventions at these levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Distal trans-radial access (dTRA) is a novel technique of arterial cannulation in coronary interventions. The comparative efficacy of dTRA and conventional trans-radial access (TRA) in attenuating peri-procedural complications is unknown. METHODS Embase and PubMed/MEDLINE were searched from their inception until June 25, 2022, for randomized clinical trials. Outcomes included were radial artery occlusion (RAO), radial artery spasm, hemostasis time, access time, unsuccessful cannulation, crossover rate, and early discharge after trans-radial stenting of coronary arteries (EASY) type I-III hematomas. Statistical analysis was conducted using the random effects model to derive risk ratios (RRs) and mean differences (MDs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 6 randomized clinical trials comprising 3240 patients were included. Subjects were predominantly male (73%) and had a mean age of 66 years. The dTRA group had a lower risk of RAO [RR 0.43 (95% CI, 0.26-0.69); P = 0.0005; I 2 = 0%] and had a shorter hemostasis time [MD -22.85 min (95% CI, -39.06 to -6.65); P = 0.006; I 2 = 99%]. The dTRA group had a higher crossover rate [RR 3.04 (95% CI, 1.88-4.91); P = 0.00001; I 2 = 56%] and a longer access time [MD 0.68 min (95% CI, 0.17-1.18); P = 0.009; I 2 = 99%]. The TRA group had a lower rate of unsuccessful cannulation [RR 0.81 (95% CI, 0.70-0.95); P = 0.01; I 2 = 92%]. There was no significant difference between the groups for radial artery spasm and EASY type I-III hematomas. CONCLUSION dTRA is a safe alternative to conventional TRA for coronary interventions with a lower risk of RAO. Future trials are required to further compare both approaches.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the analysis of the effectiveness of transradial access puncture in the application of complications and comfort after cerebral angiography. Methods Retrospectively analyzed 80 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly divided into the control group (femoral artery group n = 40) and test group (radial artery group n = 40) using a random number table from January 2021 to January 2022 admitted to the department of neurology and department of vascular interventions in our hospital and compared the incidence of postoperative puncture site bleeding, time to first postoperative urination, and incidence of postoperative urinary retention and postoperative changes in comfort level. Results There was 1 case of postoperative puncture site bleeding in the test group and 6 cases of postoperative puncture site bleeding in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05); the time to first urination in the test group (62.47) was significantly better than that in the control group (85.97), with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05); there were 0 cases of urinary retention in the test group and 6 cases in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). The GCQ scores of patients in the test group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Transradial access puncture has a good clinical effect and can effectively reduce the complication rate of patients, which is worth promoting.

Abstract
PURPOSE To perform a systematic review assessing the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for treatment of critical hand ischemia (CHI) due to below-the-elbow (BTE) obstructive arterial disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE and EMBASE systematic searches were performed from inception to December 2020 to identify studies assessing PTA for management of BTE obstructive arterial disease. Three independent reviewers performed abstract selection, data extraction, and quality assessment. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess individual study bias for non-randomized controlled trials. RESULTS Eight studies comprising 176 patients with obstructive BTE vessel disease were included. All studies had a score >5 on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, indicative of high quality. All studies used low-profile balloons (1.5-4 mm) for PTA of stenotic lesions or chronic total occlusions (CTOs). The weighted average technical success and clinical success rates were 89.3% (range = 82%-100%) and 69.9% (range = 19%-100%), respectively, at a mean follow-up of 29.7 ± 17.1 months. The short-term (<30 days) complication rate was low at 4.7% and most commonly included access site hematomas, pseudoaneurysms, and radial artery perforation or re-thrombosis. Nearly 20% of patients required an amputation, and most (96%) were minor (either distal phalanges or digits). Only 2 patients required above-wrist amputations. The primary and secondary patency rate at 5 years were 38% and 54%, respectively. The cumulative 5-year mortality rate was 33.1%. CONCLUSIONS PTA for CHI due to BTE obstructive arterial disease is feasible with a high technical success rate and a low short-term complication rate. Additional long-term comparative studies are required to unequivocally establish the clinical benefit of endovascular treatment compared with conservative management or surgical bypass.

Abstract
Aims Left distal transradial arterial approach (ldTRA) is a new interventional route that spares right radial artery (RRA) for use in haemodialysis and as bypass graft. Vasant Kunj Left dIstal Transradial ArtEry approach (VKLITE) study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of ldTRA access during coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods and Results Between April 2018 and June 2020, 108 patients were enrolled and underwent CAG ± PCI via ultrasound guided ldTRA. Arterial puncture, CAG, and PCI were successful in 96.3% (104/108), 92.1% (93/101), and 94.1% (32/34) patients, respectively. Access site crossover rate was 14/108 (13.0%). Mean puncture, procedure, and haemostasis time (minutes) were 6.7 ± 7.1, 55.7 ± 32.8, and 23.1 ± 11.9. Median total fluoroscopic time was 6.6 minutes (IQR-14.2), and median total radiation dose was 39.2 Gy-cm2 (IQR-97.0). Local haematoma occurred in 11 patients (10.2%) with major haematoma in 1.9%, all recovering within three weeks. Mean pain score was 2.4 ± 2.3, and patient satisfaction score was 9.0 ± 1.3. LdTRA access compared with RRA access (n = 121) showed significantly increased mean procedure time (55.7 ± 32.8 vs. 43.9 ± 26.0 minutes, p = 0.01) and median total fluoroscopic time (6.6 [IQR-14.2] vs. 4.7 [IQR-8.2] minutes, p = 0.02), with similar median total radiation dose (39.2 [IQR-97.0] vs. 43.8 [IQR-54.5] Gy-cm2, p = 0.56). No radial artery loss, dissection, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, or nerve injury was noted. Conclusions LdTRA access is feasible with few complications during CAG/PCI. Patient comfort and satisfaction makes it a desirable route for coronary interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the evidence supporting the use of transradial access (TRA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). RECENT FINDINGS There have been five major randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two recent meta-analyses comparing outcomes of TRA and femoral access (FA) in ACS. Additional studies have explored the impact of TRA on STEMI door-to-balloon (D2B) times, TRA in high-risk ACS patients, the potential conflict between TRA and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery employing the radial artery, and distal radial artery (DRA) access. TRA is associated with a reduction in net adverse clinical events, major bleeding, acute renal injury, and access site complications compared to FA in ACS patients undergoing PCI. TRA is not associated with significant delays in STEMI D2B times that impact patient outcomes. Further studies are needed to evaluate the role of TRA in high-risk ACS patients, the interplay between TRA and radial artery CABG, and use of DRA in ACS.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim: To demonstrate that in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), using Cordis 6F Infiniti diagnostic catheters for angioplasty may represent a safe alternative associated with lower contrast volume and radiation dosage, improving cardiovascular and renal outcomes.
Material and Methods: In 1,800 patients with ACS (2,331 lesions/2,603 stents), angioplasty was performed with Cordis 6F Infiniti Thrulumen diagnostic catheters. Primary angioplasty was performed in 545 cases, and only balloon angioplasty in 67 patients. All procedures were performed through the femoral route, and switch-over to the radial route was made in 5 cases due to associated aortic/iliac obstructive lesions. Iodixanol was used in 76% of cases, and tirofiban in 99% of cases with adjusted dosages based on creatinine values. The mean contrast volume used per patient was 28 mL (± 6 mL) including the angiogram prior to the angioplasty.
Results: The median fluoroscopy time was 4.4 min (IQR 3–6.8), the mean fluoroscopy time was 5.59 min (± 0.28), the median dose-area product or kerma-area product was 1,507 µGym2 (IQR 918–2,611), median total or cumulative dose including backscatter was 2,702 µGym2 (IQR 1,805–4,217), and the median cumulative skin dose was 468 mGy (IQR 296–722). Groin hematoma was seen in 7 cases, proximal mild edge dissection in the deployed stent in 3 cases, and acute in-hospital stent thrombosis in 7 cases. In total, 33 deaths were registered and 19 of these patients had cardiogenic shock, of which 11 subjects were late presenters. Three patients died after discharge due to possible acute stent thrombosis.
Conclusions: Angioplasty and stenting can be performed safely in patients with acute coronary syndromes using Cordis 6F diagnostic catheters. The procedure was associated with a very low volume of contrast and radiation dose, leading to improved clinical outcomes..

World J Clin Cases 2022; 10:1937-1945. [PMID: 35317135 PMCID: PMC8891778 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v10.i6.1937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular complications of transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are rare and usually occur at the access site below the elbow. Life-threatening vascular complications during transradial PCI therapy, such as vessel perforation and dissection in the brachiocephalic, subclavian, internal mammary, and thyrocervical arteries, are rarely reported. Subclavian artery bleeding is a potentially serious complication of vascular interventional procedures leading to tracheal obstruction, hemothorax, respiratory failure, hemorrhagic shock, and death if not diagnosed early and treated promptly.
CASE SUMMARY A male patient with typical angina pectoris underwent coronary angiography and stent implantation. During the procedure, the patient felt pharyngeal pain and tightness, which we mistook for myocardial ischemia. After PCI, swelling in the right neck and supraclavicular area was observed. The patient experienced dyspnea, emergency endotracheal intubation was performed, and then a sudden drop in blood pressure was observed. Ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans demonstrated a cervical hematoma severely compressing the trachea due to subclavian artery bleeding. Brachiocephalic angiography revealed a vascular injury site at the root of the right subclavian artery at the intersection of the right common carotid artery. A covered stent was deployed to the right subclavian artery with successful sealing of the perforation, and a bare stent was implanted in the junction of the right common carotid and brachiocephalic arteries to prevent obstruction of blood flow to the brain.
CONCLUSION Subclavian artery bleeding is a lifethreatening complication of PCI. Early prevention, rapid recognition, and prompt treatment may improve the prognosis.
