Neurosurg Rev 2024; 47:795. [PMID: 39400610 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-024-02994-w] [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: 08/09/2024] [Revised: 09/26/2024] [Accepted: 10/02/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024]
Abstract
Distal transradial access (dTRA), performed through an anatomical snuffbox, minimizes post-procedural burdens of endovascular treatments. However, despite the benefits of balloon-guide catheters (BGCs), their use in dTRA is limited by their small radial artery diameter. Herein, we evaluated the feasibility and radial artery occlusion (RAO) rate of 8Fr BGCs used in sheathless dTRA. This retrospective study reviewed patients treated with sheathless dTRA using an 8Fr Optimo at a single center between July 2023 and May 2024. dTRA procedures were performed under general anesthesia in patients not requiring urgent treatment. The RAO was assessed using ultrasonography 24 h after the procedure. The demographic and procedural characteristics were compared between the radial artery patency and occlusion groups. Of 170 patients, 50 underwent dTRA, and 43 (86%) completed the procedure. RAO occurred in 12/43 (28%) patients with dTRA. Univariate and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses demonstrated that the median radial artery diameter was significantly smaller in the RAO group (P < 0.001), with an optimal cut-off value of 2.4 mm to predict RAO. Complications included minor cerebral ischemia in two patients, but no severe ischemia was observed. Sheathless dTRA using an 8Fr Optimo BGC is feasible, but the risk of RAO should be noted, particularly in patients with small radial artery diameters. This study suggests a radial artery diameter cutoff value of 2.4 mm to predict RAO, aiding access decisions for large-bore BGC. Further multicenter prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings and assess long-term outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Among the complications associated with transradial artery access, radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most frequent and serious, limiting the reuse of the same radial artery for subsequent procedures and as a graft for coronary artery bypass grafting. OBJECTIVE The objective of this project was to implement best practices to reduce the incidence of RAO, thereby enhancing the quality of patient care after transradial coronary angiography or intervention. METHODS The project was conducted in cardiology department of the Huadong Hospital, Shanghai, China. The seven-phase JBI Evidence Implementation Framework was used to guide the project. Eight audit criteria were developed and a baseline audit was conducted to compare current practice with best practices for RAO prevention. Following the implementation of improvement strategies, a follow-up audit was conducted to evaluate the success of the strategies. RESULTS The implementation of best practices led to significant improvements in reducing the sheath/catheter size and systematically assessing radial artery patency before discharge, with both criteria reaching 100% compliance. The use of prophylactic ulnar compression increased from 0% to 90%, and the adoption of a minimal pressure strategy improved from 0% to 70%. The use of pre-puncture and post-procedural pre-hemostasis nitrates also increased from 23% to 93%. Barriers to implementation included the lack of dedicated devices for prophylactic ulnar artery compression, the possibility of bleeding after removal of the compression device, absence of an evidence-based care workflow, and absence of nursing assessment record forms for RAO prevention. CONCLUSIONS This project promoted evidence-based practices among nurses for the care of RAO patients following transradial angiography and intervention. Efforts should be made to sustain the best practices in the future. SPANISH ABSTRACT http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A261.

Incidence and Predictors of Early and Late Radial Artery Occlusion after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Coronary Angiography: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:5882. [PMID: 39407942 PMCID: PMC11477189 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13195882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2024] [Revised: 09/18/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 10/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Trans-radial access for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has gained popularity due to its advantages over the traditional transfemoral approach. However, radial artery occlusion (RAO) remains a common complication following trans-radial procedures. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of early and late RAO along with their risk factors. Methods: Six databases, Medline (Ovid), National Library of Medicine (MeSH), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (Wiley), Embase, Scopus, and Global Index Medicus, were searched. The systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data were extracted and analyzed. Using a random-effect model, the primary endpoint was the overall incidence of RAO after invasive coronary procedures. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were also performed to identify possible predictors of RAO. Results: A total of 41 studies with 30,020 patients were included. The overall incidence of RAO was 13% (95% CI = 0.09-0.16). The incidence of early RAO (within 24 h) was 14% (95% CI = 0.10-0.18) in 26 studies, while the incidence of late RAO (after 24 h) was 10% (95% CI = 0.04-0.16) in 22 studies. The average incidence rates of early RAO in studies with catheter sizes of <6 Fr, 6 Fr, and >6 Fr were 9.8%, 9.4%, and 8.8%. The overall effect size of female gender as a predictor was 0.22 with a 95% CI of 0.00-0.44. Age was a potential predictor of early RAO (B = 0.000357; 95% CI = -0.015-0.0027, p: 0.006). Conclusions: This meta-analysis provides essential information on the incidence of early (14%) and late (10%) RAO following angiographic procedures. Additionally, our findings suggest that female sex and age are possible predictors of RAO. A larger catheter, especially (6 Fr) and hemostatic compression time <90 min post-procedure, substantially reduced the incidence of RAO. The use of oral anticoagulation and the appropriate dosage of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) does reduce RAO, but a comparison between them showed no statistical significance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Carotid artery stenting (CAS) through transradial access (TRA) is emerging as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy. However, the current evidence base is limited, mainly comprising single-center studies. OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess the safety and effectiveness of TRA for CAS, providing evidence to support clinical decisions. METHODS We conducted searches on PUBMED, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases, including studies on TRA for CAS. Studies with fewer than 20 patients, non-primary outcomes, and non-full-text articles were excluded. RESULTS We analyzed 14 studies involving 1,166 patients who underwent CAS via TRA. Procedural success rate was high in 13 studies, with a 95% rate (95% CI; 92%-98%). Crossover to TFA access was observed in 12 studies at 6% (95% CI: 3%-9%). Transradial access failure was reported in four studies, with a rate of 0% (95% CI: 0%-0%). Cannulation failure resulted in a rate of 4% (95% CI: 2%-7%). Asymptomatic radial artery occlusion (ARAO) occurred at a rate of 2% based on eight studies (95% CI: 0%-5%). Forearm hematoma was reported in 10 studies, with an occurrence of 1% (95% CI: 0%-2%). Cerebral vascular attacks (CAV) within 30 days were assessed in 13 studies, indicating a 2% occurrence (95% CI: 1%-2%). CONCLUSION The findings suggest that TRA for CAS yields promising outcomes with high success rates and low complication rates. Further research should focus on randomized controlled trials and long-term outcomes to validate and extend findings.

Abstract
There is a paucity of data on acute radial artery (RA) injuries using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients undergoing coronary intervention via distal transradial coronary access (dTRA). To evaluate the incidence of acute RA injury following dTRA for coronary intervention using OCT. We retrospectively analyzed 200 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who underwent coronary intervention guided by OCT and RA-OCT after dTRA at our center between June 2021 and November 2022. Total length of RA was divided into three segments based on the sheath location during dTRA: no sheath protection portion (proximal RA segment) and sheath protection portion (divided into mid- and distal segments). Acute RA injuries, including tears, dissections, perforations, thrombi, and spasms, were analyzed. Radial artery occlusion (RAO) was assessed using ultrasonography 24 h after dTRA. Acute RA injury was observed in 45.5% of patients after dTRA. The incidence of tear, dissection, perforation, thrombi, and spasm in all the patients was 11.5%, 16.5%, 1.5%, 17.5%, and 17.5%, respectively. In segment-level analysis, dissection and spasm were significantly more frequent in the proximal segment, followed by the mid and distal segments (11.0% vs. 5.5% vs. 4.5%, P = 0.015; 13.0% vs. 4.0% vs. 4.5%, P = 0.002). The rate of RAO at 24-h follow-up was 3.0%. Acute RA injuries were observed in nearly half of the patients using OCT via dTRA; dissection and spasm occurred more frequently in the proximal segment. Hydrophilic-coated sheaths have the potential advantage of preventing radial artery spasm and dissection.

Abstract
Background/Objectives: The distal transradial approach (dTRA) is increasingly used in interventional cardiology. Doppler Ultrasound (DUS) effectively assesses radial artery (RA) characteristics. This study aims to identify specific RA DUS characteristics in patients undergoing coronary procedures via dTRA. Methods: Participants from the ANTARES trial who completed the intervention per-protocol and retained RA patency were included. DUS was performed at baseline, 1 day, and 60 days post-procedure. Results: Among 400 participants, 348 had either dTRA (n = 169) or conventional transradial access (cTRA) (n = 179). Distal RA lumen diameter was 12% smaller than that of the proximal RA (p < 0.001). Men had a 14% larger distal RA diameter than women (2.33 ± 0.31 mm vs. 2.04 ± 0.27 mm, p < 0.0001), similar to the proximal RA relationship. Peak flow velocities were similar between the sexes. Univariate linear regression showed that height, weight, body mass index, and body surface area (BSA) predicted arterial size, with BSA remaining significant in multivariate analysis (beta coefficient 0.62; confidence interval 0.49-0.75; p < 0.0001). Distal RA diameter correlated positively with palpable pulse at the snuffbox and wrist. The dTRA resulted in an immediate 14% and 11% increase in distal and proximal RA diameter, respectively (both p < 0.05). Sixty days after dTRA, the distal RA remained slightly dilated (p < 0.05), while the proximal RA returned to baseline. Conclusions: Distal RA diameter is significantly associated with sex, measuring smaller than the forearm segment. A strong palpable pulse correlates with larger distal RA size. The dTRA induces RA lumen expansion. A thorough understanding of distal RA anatomy is essential for optimizing patient selection and refining techniques for transradial procedures.

Abstract
Background The femoral artery is the standard route for transarterial chemoembolization (TACE); however, it is negatively associated with the quality of life of patients, and carries an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs. We employed the distal radial approach to TACE to assess its feasibility and safety. Methods We conducted a retrospective study at the First Hospital of Jilin University from August 1, 2020 to October 31, 2023. To be eligible for inclusion in the study, the patients had to meet the following main inclusion criteria: (I) have undergone a preoperative imaging (abdominal computed tomography enhancement or magnetic resonance dynamic enhancement) examination, or have a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of primary liver cancer, and a Child-Pugh score of A or B; and (II) have undergone distal radial artery puncture. The primary endpoint of this study was the success rate of distal radial artery puncture. The secondary endpoints were complications and the duration of the puncture. Results Among the 343 patients with primary liver cancer (of whom 236 were male and 107 were female), a total of 1,315 distal radial artery punctures were attempted. The success rate was remarkably high at 95.13% (1,251/1,315), with only 64 cases requiring an alternative approach due to failed puncture. The average puncture duration was 20±7.43 minutes. No bleeding and hematoma, no arterial dissection and pseudoaneurysm formation were observed on ultrasound, and the radial pulse was palpable in all patients, highlighting the safety of the procedure. Further, no adverse events of vascular occlusion were observed among the 12 patients who received 6 or more punctures, indicating the sustainability of the distal radial artery access under the premise of adequate vascular protection. The development of this technique requires a learning curve of at least 50 cases to break through the learning baseline and be proficient in distal radial artery blind puncture. This may be the reason why many interventional physicians are reluctant to perform this procedure, adapting to the femoral approach with a shorter learning curve. Conclusions The distal radial artery approach is feasible and safe in hepatic arterial chemoembolization, and should be widely promoted in TACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Radial artery diameter may limit whether a guiding sheath (GS) can be used via transradial artery access (TRA). A smaller GS may reduce the risk of access site-related complications. This study investigated the feasibility and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) using a straight-shaped 3-Fr GS (Axcelguide; Medikit). METHODS Patients who underwent EVT with a straight-shaped 3-Fr GS at 3 institutions between April 2022 and March 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient background, anatomic and procedural factors, and complications were recorded. RESULTS Twenty-six pathologies were treated with EVT using a 3-Fr GS. Median radial artery diameter was 1.9 mm, and distal TRA (73.1%) was selected more often than TRA (26.9%) as the access site. The breakdown of target pathologies and the role of the 3-Fr GS were as follows: 12 unruptured cerebral aneurysms for intra-aneurysmal coiling, with 5 dural arteriovenous fistulas, 5 brain or head and neck tumors, 2 chronic subdural hematoma, 1 arteriovenous malformation, and 1 hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia for transarterial embolization. A success rate of 96.2% was achieved, with no access site- or non-access site-related complications observed within 30 days. CONCLUSION The straight-shaped 3-Fr GS may be applicable for selected pathologies, allowing access even with RAs <2 mm in diameter and facilitating EVT without complications. Preliminary experience with the 3-Fr GS via TRA demonstrated excellent feasibility and safety.

Abstract
Background Distal radial artery (DRA) access is an infrequent alternative access for pediatric catheterization. The feasibility of using the DRA for arterial catheterization in children depends on the vessel's size. Objectives This study aims to provide a reference for pediatric catheterization via DRA access by evaluating the diameter of the DRA in the anatomic snuffbox (AS). Methods We conducted a retrospective review of clinical and vascular ultrasound data of 412 children (ages 3-12) who were scheduled for arterial blood gas analysis via the DRA due to serious respiratory diseases between June 2023 and October 2023. Results The corrected DRA diameter in the AS was 1.97 ± 0.37 mm overall, with no significant difference between males (1.98 ± 0.38 mm) and females (1.95 ± 0.35 mm) (p = 0.457). The anteroposterior, transverse, and corrected DRA diameters increased significantly with age (p < 0.05). The DRA diameter was significantly smaller than the proximal radial artery (PRA) diameter (1.97 ± 0.37 mm vs. 2.05 ± 0.33 mm, p < 0.001) but larger than the ulnar artery (UA) diameter (1.97 ± 0.37 mm vs. 1.88 ± 0.33 mm, p < 0.001). The proportions of patients with a DRA diameter greater than 2.0 mm and 1.5 mm were 38.83% and 86.89%, respectively. The proportions of patients with DRA diameters >2.0 mm and >1.5 mm increased significantly with age (p < 0.01). The percentages of individuals with a DRA/PRA ratio ≥1.0 were 55.10% overall, 52.12% in males, and 58.60% in females. DRA diameter showed significant correlations with age (r = 0.275, p < 0.01), height (r = 0.319, p < 0.01), weight (r = 0.319, p < 0.01), BMI (r = 0.241, p < 0.01), wrist circumference (r = 0.354, p < 0.01), PRA diameter (r = 0.521, p < 0.01), and UA diameter (r = 0.272, p < 0.01). Conclusion The DRA diameter in children increases with age and size, making cardiac catheterization is theoretically feasible. Preoperative evaluation of the vessel diameter and intraoperative ultrasound-guided intervention are recommended for paediatric catheterization via the DRA access.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2024; 104:234-240. [PMID: 38881025 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.31129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Radial access is the default approach in interventional cardiology. The Axiostat® surgical hemostatic dressing, using chitosan as its active component, has demonstrated potential in accelerating blood clotting. This study aims to assess the efficacy and the safety of the Axiostat® dressing in achieving hemostasis in patients undergoing transradial coronary angioplasty (TRCA). METHODS This prospective, single-center observational study, conducted in 2022, enrolled consecutive patients undergoing TRCA, with a target of 150 participants. The primary outcome was the success rate of radial artery hemostasis at 120 min, without bleeding necessitating immediate re-compression. The secondary outcome included Axiostat® performance at 24 h and 30 days Postprocedure. RESULTS The study was terminated prematurely for ethical and patient safety reasons, after inclusion of 41 consecutive TRCA patients due to an unexpectedly high radial artery thrombosis rate (19.5%, n = 8/41) observed 24 h Postprocedure. The success rate of radial hemostasis with the Axiostat® dressing was 78.0%. Procedural details and patient characteristics were comparable between successful Axiostat® removal and device failure cases. CONCLUSION The use of the Axiostat® dressing to achieve hemostasis after TRCA is effective but is associated with an unexpectedly high incidence of radial thrombosis. Our results should encourage caution in the future evaluation and use of this device for radial artery compression following TRCA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of randomized clinical trials on whether the 6-French (Fr) Glidesheath Slender (GSS; Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) is superior to the 6-Fr conventional radial sheath (CS) with respect to the early-term incidence of distal radial artery occlusion (dRAO) in patients who have undergone coronary angiography (CAG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via distal transradial access. METHODS This was a prospective, single-centre trial of patients who were randomized to undergo CAG and/or PCI with either a 6-Fr GSS or a 6-Fr CS. The primary end point was the incidence of dRAO at 24 hours postoperatively, evaluated using Doppler ultrasound. RESULTS A total of 620 patients were included in the study. The baseline patient and procedural characteristics were similar among the 2 groups. For the primary end point, the incidence of dRAO at 24 hours after the procedure was 1.0% (3/314) in the GSS group and 3.6% (11/306) in the CS group (risk ratio, 0.266; 95% confidence interval, 0.075-0.943; P = 0.027) according to the intention to treat analysis. For the secondary end points, the incidence of proximal radial artery occlusion was 0.3% (1/314) in the GSS group and 2.3% (7/306) in the CS group (P = 0.029). Other secondary end points, including the puncture success rate, procedural outcomes, other puncture-related outcomes, and access-related complications were not significantly different in the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS The use of a thin-walled and hydrophilic coating sheath can reduce the incidence of early-term dRAO in patients who undergo CAG and/or PCI via the distal transradial access.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radial access is preferred in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCSs) treated with ad hoc percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Antithrombotic and antiplatelet treatment before PCI may affect outcomes at vascular access sites. QuikClot Radial is a kaolin-based band that may shorten hemostasis time. Using point-of-care testing, we investigated the effect of antithrombotic and antiplatelet treatment on access-site complications. METHODS This prospective observational study included consecutive patients with CCS on chronic aspirin therapy referred for ad hoc PCI. The activated clotting time (ACT), global thrombosis test and VerifyNow P2Y 12 test were done sequentially after unfractionated heparin (UFH) and clopidogrel administration. Patients were monitored for radial artery patency, bleeding and local hematoma until discharge. RESULTS We enrolled 40 patients [mean age, 68.8 ± 8.8 years; men, 30 (75%)] who received UFH (median dose, 8000 IU; interquartile range, 7000-9000 IU) and clopidogrel (600 mg). All radial arteries remained patent during follow-up. Local bleeding and hematomas were noted in 11 patients (27.5%) each. Patients with bleeding had lower mean platelet activity at 2 h [122.5 ± 51 platelet reactivity units (PRU) vs. 158.7 ± 43 PRU, P = 0.04] and higher ACT (216.9 ± 40 s vs. 184.6 ± 28 s, P = 0.006) than patients without bleeding. An ACT >196 s at 2 h predicted bleeding or hematoma (AUC, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.56-0.85, P = 0.008). CONCLUSION Lower platelet activity and higher ACT after PCI were associated with higher bleeding risk at a vascular access site. Point-of-care testing of ACT after the procedure may help identify patients with CCS undergoing PCI who are at higher risk of access-site bleeding.

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
Conventional radial access in endovascular surgery has certain limitations, primarily associated with the presence of local complications and radial artery occlusion. Over the past 7 years, distal radial access has exploded into all areas of endovascular procedures, from interventional cardiology to vascular surgery and interventional oncology. However, puncture of the distal radial artery has its own nuances and features: a learning curve, the use of ultrasound navigation in the initial stages of mastering the access, limitations in patients with acute conditions (acute coronary syndrome and stroke). This review aims to analyze on important aspects of the procedure of distal radial access from preparation for it to hemostasis and to explore all data about the new roles of distal radial access in avoiding but also treating radial artery occlusion, as the first thing to begin with the development and implementation of new access.

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 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.

[PMID: 37625629 DOI: 10.1016/j.neurad.2023.08.004] [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: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
Transradial access during neurointerventions has increased in popularity because of reduced complications and patient preference. Nevertheless, transradial cannulation into the left common carotid artery can be difficult technically because of the lack of catheter support in the aortic arch. Furthermore, the use of large sheaths can increase the risk of complications at the access site. Here, we developed a new very-small-bore transradial system using a 3F Simmons guiding sheath, to increase the procedural success rate and minimize access-site complications. This system can represent a valuable treatment option for neurointerventions and has the potential to expand the indications for transradial access.

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
Conventional transradial access has been established as the gold standard for invasive coronary angiography and percutaneous interventions by the current European and American guidelines. The distal or snuffbox radial artery access represents an alternative transradial access site that allows radial sheath insertion with the patient's hand pronated. Firstly described 40 years ago, it exploded in popularity only recently. Promising additional benefits, the distal radial access is increasingly being adopted in various types of percutaneous interventions, being preferred by many interventional cardiologists and radiologists for its reduced vascular complications and time to hemostasis, and improvement of patient and operator comfort. Other centers consider it a fad, waiting for solid clear evidence and benefits. The evidence is dynamic and discrepant, depending on the center, the operator, and how it was collected (randomized controlled vs observational studies). Another essential aspect raised by "skeptics" was whether distal radial access, by its smaller diameter and more angled course, can support all types of interventions. The aim of this review is to gather all the scenarios where distal radial access has been utilized and to conclude whether this vascular access is feasible across all transcatheter interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The distal transradial access (dTRA) has become an attractive and alternative access to the conventional transradial access (TRA) for cardiovascular interventional diagnosis and/or treatment. There was a lack of randomized clinical trials to evaluate the effect of the dTRA on the long-term radial artery occlusion (RAO). METHODS This was a prospective, randomized controlled study. The primary endpoint was the incidence of long-term RAO at 3 months after discharge. The secondary endpoints included the successful puncture rate, puncture time, and other access-related complications. RESULTS The incidence of long-term RAO was 0.8% (3/361) for dTRA and 3.3% (12/365) for TRA (risk ratio = 0.25, 95% confidence interval = 0.07-0.88, P = 0.02). The incidence of RAO at 24 h was significantly lower in the dTRA group than in the TRA group (2.5% vs. 6.7%, P < 0.01). The puncture success rate (96.0% vs. 98.5%, P = 0.03) and single puncture attempt (70.9% vs. 83.9%, P < 0.01) were significantly lower in the dTRA group than in the TRA group. However, the number of puncture attempts and puncture time were higher in the dTRA group. The dTRA group had a lower incidence of bleeding than the TRA group (1.5% vs. 6.0%, P < 0.01). There was no difference in the success rate of the procedure, total fluoroscopy time, or incidence of other access-related complications between the two groups. In the per-protocol analysis, the incidence of mEASY type ≥ II haematoma was significantly lower in the dTRA group, which was consistent with that in the as-treated analysis. CONCLUSIONS The dTRA significantly reduced the incidence of long-term RAO, bleeding or haematoma. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifer: NCT05253820.

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
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the technical success rate, the selectivity of transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), the complication rate, the radiation dose given to the patients and the hospitalization stay between TACE performed using femoral artery approach (FAA) and TACE performed using radial artery approach (RAA) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Between June 2020 and April 2022, 49 patients with HCC who underwent 116 TACEs (75 using FAA and 41 using RAA) were included. Differences in technical success rate, selectivity of micro-catheterization, radiation dose given to the patients, fluoroscopy time, hospitalization stay duration, and complication rate were compared between FAA and RAA using Fisher exact or Student t tests. RESULTS No differences in technical success rates were found between RAA (93%; 39/41 TACEs) and FAA (100%; 75/75 TACEs) (P = .12). There were no differences between the two groups in terms of selectivity of catheterization, radiation dose, fluoroscopy time and hospitalization stay duration. Five patients had Grade 2 complications (hematoma) after FAA vs. one patient with one Grade 1 complication (radial artery occlusion) after RAA (5/75 [7%] vs. 1/41 [2%], respectively; P = .42). No major arterial access site complications occurred with FAA or RAA. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms that RAA is a safe approach that does not compromise the technical efficacy and the selectivity of TACE compared to FAA in patients with HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radial artery occlusion (RAO) remains a significant limitation of neuroendovascular procedures peformed through transradial access (TRA) when radial artery needs to be reused. Instances of early RAO recanalization to successfully complete neuroendovascular procedures have been rarely documented. MATERIALS AND METHODS Documents and imaging data were extracted retrospectively for all patients who underwent TRA diagnostic angiography and neuroendovascular procedures in our center from June 2022 to February 2023. The patients with early RAO who required repeat TRA were included. RESULTS A total of 46 patients underwent repeat TRA, and 13 consecutive patients who experienced early RAO after angiography as confirmed by ultrasonography were enrolled in this study. The occluded radial arteries were successfully recanalized, and subsequent neuroendovascular procedures were carried out successful. During an average follow-up time of 7.1 months, no patients exhibited symptomatic RAO, dissection, hematoma or pseudoaneurysm. CONCLUSIONS Early RAO recanalization and reused for neuroendovascular procedures through TRA is feasible. A visually guided and stable puncture process plays a crucial role in successfully recanalizing early RAO.

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
Aim: To predict the development of radial artery thrombus (RAT) in patients with radial approach coronary angiography of platelet-to-hemoglobin ratio (PHR). Materials & methods: This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between RAT and PHR. A total of 1156 patients who had coronary angiography via the transradial approach between 2021 and 2022 in the authors' center were included in the study. Results: Radial thrombus was detected in 52 (4.5%) patients. PHR was higher in the group with thrombus and was statistically significant. In the regression model, PHR was an independent predictor of the development of radial thrombus (p = 0.007). Conclusion: High PHR may be an independent predictor of the development of radial thrombus.

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
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Delayed radial artery occlusion (dRAO) is a frequent complication after transradial access (TRA) for neurointervention when using standard large guide catheters. The RIST 079 guide catheter (RIST GC) is the first catheter designed for TRA in neurointervention. We aimed to assess the rate of dRAO after intracranial aneurysm (IA) treatment using the RIST GC. METHODS Patients treated for an IA using TRA and the RIST GC between June 2021 and November 2022 were referred to a systematic US-doppler assessment of the radial artery patency at 3-month follow-up. Patients with and without dRAO were compared to identify risk factors. RESULTS Twenty-two patients were included in the analysis. At 3-months follow up, 6 patients (27.3 %) presented with dRAO. Four patients were asymptomatic and 2 experienced post-operative radial hematoma and wrist pain. There was a tendency towards younger age, longer procedure duration and higher rate of forearm hematoma in patients with dRAO. Navigation using the RIST GC was successful in 90.9 % of cases. Intracranial access failures and navigation complications were all related to left internal carotid artery navigation. CONCLUSIONS At 3-month follow up, 27.3 % of patients treated for IA using TRA with the RIST GC presented dRAO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The adaptation of retrograde tibial-pedal access for peripheral angiogram and intervention is limited by the lack of operator experience and concern for small distal vessel injury. This study evaluates the safety of the retrograde tibial-pedal access for peripheral angiogram and intervention in patients with two vessel infra-popliteal artery chronic total occlusions, where the access point is the sole remaining non-occluded infra-popliteal artery. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 5687 consecutive patients who underwent peripheral angiograms by retrograde tibial-pedal access via the single remaining non-occluded infra-popliteal artery was performed. Patients who had retrograde tibial-pedal access at the sole remaining infra-popliteal artery confirmed by angiography were included. Clinical and ultrasound data of the accessed infra-popliteal vessel up to 6 months were collected. RESULTS The cohort consisted of 314 patients (152 males; mean age 77.9 years). At 6 months, access vessel complications occurred in 15 patients (4.8%). Access vessel occlusion occurred in 9 out of 314 patients (2.9%), arteriovenous fistula in 4 (1.3%), with spontaneous resolution in 2, pseudoaneurysm requiring thrombin injection in 2 (0.6%) and non-cardiovascular death in 1 (0.3%). No uncontrolled bleeding, procedure-related hospitalizations or limb amputations occurred. CONCLUSIONS Routine primary retrograde tibial-pedal access for lower extremity peripheral artery diagnostic angiography and intervention in patients with single infra-popliteal artery runoff can be safety performed in an outpatient setting with infrequent and manageable complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the important advantages of the distal transradial access (dTRA) is the significant reduction in the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). There are few reports on the influencing factors for distal radial artery occlusion (dRAO) after cardiovascular interventions via the dTRA. METHODS This retrospective analysis included the clinical data of patients who underwent a cardiovascular intervention via the dTRA. The dRAO was evaluated by ultrasound within 24 hours after the procedure. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to explore the influencing factors for dRAO. RESULTS The incidence of dRAO was 3.5% (28/805) at 24 hours follow-up after the procedure. In the comparison between the 2 groups, the preoperative distal radial artery (DRA) internal diameter in the dRAO group was significantly smaller than that in the non-dRAO group (p=0.001). The prevalence of DRA inner diameter/sheath outer diameter <1 was significantly higher in the dRAO group than in the non-dRAO group (p=0.013). The number of puncture attempts was significantly greater in the dRAO group than in the non-dRAO group (p=0.007). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that DRA inner diameter/sheath outer diameter <1 was an independent risk factor for dRAO (OR=4.827, 95% CI=1.087-21.441, p=0.039). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of dRAO 24 hours after cardiovascular intervention via the dTRA was 3.5%, and a DRA inner diameter/sheath outer diameter <1 was an independent risk factor for dRAO. Preoperative ultrasound assessment of vessel inner diameter and selection of a sheath with a smaller outer diameter may reduce the risk of dRAO. CLINICAL IMPACT The incidence of distal radial artery occlusion after cardiovascular intervention was 3.5%. The distal radial artery inner diameter/sheath outer diameter <1 was an independent risk factor for distal radial artery occlusion. Preoperative ultrasound assessment of vessel inner diameter and selection of a sheath with a smaller outer diameter may reduce the risk of distal radial artery occlusion. The number of puncture attempts and compression time were not related to distal radial artery occlusion.

Abstract
Nitroglycerin dilates the radial artery and prevents spasm, which increases the success rate of sheath cannulation through the conventional transradial approach. However, the effects of nitroglycerin on distal radial approach (DRA) procedures are not known. The aim of this study is to elucidate whether a transdermal nitroglycerin patch improves the rate of successful DRA cannulation. A total of 92 patients scheduled for coronary angiography by means of DRA randomly received (1:1) a transdermal nitroglycerin patch preintegrated with the covering material or only the covering material on their upper arm on the side of the puncture. The diameter of the distal radial artery was evaluated with ultrasound at baseline and after application. DRA procedures were performed in a double-blind fashion. The primary outcome was the rate of successful palpation-guided distal radial artery cannulation with the first puncture. The nitroglycerin group had larger distal radial artery diameter after patch application than that of the no-treatment group (mean, 3.21 mm vs 2.71 mm, p <0.001), but not at baseline (mean, 2.64 mm vs 2.64 mm, p = 0.965).The nitroglycerin group had a significantly higher success rate of DRA cannulation with the first puncture than that of the no-treatment group (59% vs 24%, p = 0.001; odds ratio 4.5, 95% confidence interval 1.9 to 11.0). The nitroglycerin group required fewer punctures than did the no-treatment group (median, 1 vs 3, p = 0.019). There were no significant differences in the occurrence of hypotension between the 2 groups. No patients experienced radial artery occlusion. In conclusion, transdermal nitroglycerin patch application safely facilitates DRA cannulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility and safety of hepatic artery chemoembolization via the distal transradial access (dTRA). METHODS The clinical data of 130 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma treated in The First Hospital of Jilin University between August 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were confirmed to have primary hepatocellular carcinoma by preoperative imaging or pathology, with Child-Pugh Grade A or B and persistently palpable distal radial pulses. After a negative Allen test, patients underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) via dTRA. The puncture success rate, the average number of needles, puncture time, distal radial occlusion and wrist hematoma were used to evaluate the treatment efficacy in the patients. RESULTS All the punctures were performed using 21G steel needles. 5F sheaths were used for 84 cases, and 4F sheaths for 46 cases. The total was 130 cases. Among the 130 cases, 112 cases (86.2%) were successful in the puncture, 18 cases (13.8%) failed in the puncture. The success rate of the descending aorta selection using an MPA1 catheter (Cordis, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was 96.2% (125/130). In the remaining 5 cases, the selection succeeded after a 5F pigtail catheter was used instead. The success rate of the celiac trunk or superior mesenteric artery selection using an MPA1 catheter was 100%. No bleeding or hematoma occurred after 2-4 hours of compression following distal radial artery puncture, and both distal and proximal radial artery pulses were palpable. No arterial dissection or pseudoaneurysm was found, and there was no distal radial artery occlusion. Fourteen patients underwent 2 sessions of distal radial artery punctures, and no vascular occlusion was found in these patients either. CONCLUSIONS TACE via the dTRA is feasible and safe for primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the contemporary incidence and predictors of radial artery occlusion as well as the effectiveness of antithrombotic treatment for radial artery occlusion following transradial coronary angiography. BACKGROUND The radial artery is the standard access for coronary angiography and even complex interventions. Postprocedural radial artery occlusion is still a common and significant complication. METHODS This prospective study enrolled 2004 patients following transradial coronary angiography. After sheath removal, hemostasis was obtained in a standardized fashion. Radial artery patency was evaluated by duplex ultrasonography in all patients. In case of occlusion, oral anticoagulation was recommended and patients were scheduled for a 30-day follow-up including Doppler ultrasonography. RESULTS A new-diagnosed radial occlusion was found in 4.6% of patients. The strongest independent predictors of radial occlusion were female sex and active smoking status. In the subgroup of patients with percutaneous coronary interventions, female sex followed by sheath size > 6 French were the strongest predictors of radial occlusion. 76 of 93 patients with radial occlusion received an oral anticoagulation for 30 days. However, reperfusion at 30 days was found in 32% of patients on oral anticoagulation. CONCLUSION The incidence of radial artery occlusion following coronary angiography in contemporary practice appears with 4.6% to be lower as compared to previous cohorts. Female sex and smoking status are the strongest independent predictors of radial occlusion followed by procedural variables. The limited effectiveness of oral anticoagulation for treatment of radial artery occlusion suggests a primarily traumatic than thrombotic mechanism of this complication.

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
The outcomes of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention have considerably improved during the last decade with continued emphasis on improving procedural safety. Vascular access site bleeding remains one of the most frequent complications. Several procedural strategies have been implemented to reduce the rate of vascular access site complications. This state-of-the-art review summarizes and describes the current evidence on optimal vascular access strategies for chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The retrograde puncture of a distal artery is considered a bailout procedure in case of anterograde approach failure for peripheral artery disease (PAD) treatment. A single primary retrograde access has been suggested as an efficient and safe option. As scant data are available, we present our results using this approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between August 2019 and October 2022, we performed this technique in selected patients with femoro-popliteal PAD. Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) were selected on the basis of the CTOP classification. An ultrasound-guided retrograde puncture of a tibial artery at the ankle level was performed, followed by the preferential use of 4F materials. Hemostasis of the puncture site was obtained using manual compression. Postoperative duplex scan examination systematically included an evaluation of the punctured artery. Demographics, intraoperative, and follow-up data were collected retrospectively. The results are expressed as means with standard deviations and numbers with percentages when appropriate. RESULTS In total, 55 procedures were performed in 46 patients (9 bilateral). Of these, 57% (N=26) were considered at risk for femoral puncture (obesity, history of groin surgery, challenging crossover approach) and 54% (N=25) presented with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). The TASC-II femoro-popliteal classification was generally B (60%) and also C (33%) or D (7%). Mean lesion length was 105.6±49.4 mm and 65% were CTOs. Most patients were operated in an outpatient setting (N=25; 54%) under potentialized local anesthesia (N=41, 89%). The punctured site was the posterior tibial artery in 73% (N=40). The procedure time was 65.1±25.7 minutes, and the fluoroscopy time was 10.7±8.5 minutes. The technical success rate was 100%. There were no intraoperative complications. All patients could walk the same day. One CLTI patient presented an erysipelas related to the puncture in postoperative period. At 30 days, the primary patency of the treated and the punctured arteries were 98% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION A single primary retrograde access can be used safely to treat femoro-popliteal PAD. It represents a valuable alternative to the femoral puncture and allows fast ambulation. Prospective and long-term studies on larger populations are necessary to confirm our results. CLINICAL IMPACT This study demonstrates that a single primary retrograde access can be used safely without damaging the punctured artery to treat femoro-popliteal lesions, especially in claudicant patients. Chronic total occlusions can be treated successfully using this technique. This approach represents a valuable alternative to the femoral puncture and allows fast ambulation without risk of major bleeding.

Abstract
PURPOSE Neurointervention via transradial access (TRA) is less invasive than via transfemoral access. However, radial artery occlusion (RAO) may occur with TRA. The purpose of this study was to explore risk factors for RAO after coil embolization of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) via TRA. METHODS Forty-two consecutive patients who underwent coil embolization for UIAs via TRA between March 2021 and March 2022 and were available for angiographic evaluation 1 year after treatment were retrospectively reviewed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify potential risk factors for RAO. RESULTS Seventeen (40%) of the 42 patients showed RAO. Compared with the non-RAO group, radial artery size was significantly smaller (2.2 mm [interquartile range (IQR): 2.1, 2.4 mm] vs 2.6 mm [IQR: 2.5, 2.7 mm]; p = 0.001) and the incidence of radial artery spasm (RAS) was significantly higher in the RAO group. Multivariate analysis identified radial artery size (odds ratio [OR] 4.9 × 10-3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.4 × 10-5-0.38) and incidence of RAS (OR 14.8, 95%CI 2.1-105) as significant independent predictors of subsequent RAO. Based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the optimal cutoff for radial artery size was 2.5 mm (sensitivity, 82.4%; specificity, 76.0%; area under the ROC curve, 0.80 [95%CI 0.66-0.95]). CONCLUSION Radial artery size and RAS represent reliable parameters for predicting RAO 1 year after coil embolization for UIA via TRA. Prophylaxis against RAS and limiting neurointervention via TRA to patients with radial artery larger than 2.5 mm in diameter may reduce the risk of postoperative RAO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) exerts diverse effects on the cardiovascular system. Impairment of NO production plays a key role in cerebral and coronary artery spasm. We aimed to explore the predicting factors of radial artery spasm (RAS) and the association of eNOS gene polymorphism (Glu298Asp) with RAS during cardiac catheterization. METHODS AND RESULTS 200 patients underwent elective coronary angiography through a trans-radial approach. The subjects were genotyped to the Glu298Asp polymorphism (rs1799983) on the eNOS gene by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Our results showed that the subjects with the TT genotype and T allele were significantly more likely to develop radial artery spasms (OR = 12.5, 4.6, P < 0.001 respectively). TT genotype of eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphism, number of punctures, size of the radial sheath, radial tortuosity, and right radial access are independent predictors of radial spasm. CONCLUSION The eNOS (Glu298Asp) gene polymorphism is associated with RAS during cardiac catheterization in Egyptians. TT genotype of eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphism, number of punctures, size of the radial sheath, right radial access, and tortuosity are independent predictors of RAS during cardiac catheterization.

Abstract
Objective To determine the factors influencing proximal radial artery occlusion (PRAO) right radial artery after coronary intervention. Methods This is a single-center prospective observational study. A total of 460 patients were selected to undergo coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via the proximal transradial approach (PTRA) or distal transradial approach (DTRA). The 6F sheath tube were received by all patients. Radial artery ultrasound was performed 1 day before procedure and 1-4 days after procedure. Patients were divided into the PRAO group (42 cases) and the non-PRAO group (418 cases). General clinical data and preoperative radial artery ultrasound indexes of the two groups were compared to analyze related factors leading to PRAO. Results The total incidence of PRAO was 9.1%, including 3.8% for DTAR and 12.7% for PTRA. The PRAO rate of DTRA was significantly lower than that of PTRA (p < 0.05). Female, low body weight, low body mass index (BMI) and CAG patients were more likely to develop PRAO after procedure (p < 0.05). The internal diameter and cross-sectional area of the distal radial artery and proximal radial artery were smaller in the PRAO group than in the non-PRAO group, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Multifactorial model analysis showed that the puncture approach, radial artery diameter and procedure type were predictive factors of PRAO, and the receiver operating characteristic curve showed a good predictive value. Conclusion A larger radial artery diameter and DTRA may reduce the incidence of PRAO. Preoperative radial artery ultrasound can guide the clinical selection of appropriate arterial sheath and puncture approach.

Abstract
Background Compared with the conventional transradial approach (TRA), there are limited data on the efficacy and safety of the novel distal transradial approach (DTRA). This study aimed to verify the effectiveness and safety of the DTRA for percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention. Besides, we also try to highlight the potential of the DTRA in reducing radial artery occlusion (RAO), shorter time to hemostasis, and improved patient comfort. Methods This single-center prospective observational study enrolled patients treated with DTRA (n = 527) in the first 9 months and with TRA (n = 586) in the next 8 months from May 2020 to December 2021. The primary endpoint was the proximal RAO rate at 30 days. Results Baseline data were similar between the two groups. The proximal radial artery occlusion rate at 30 days [2.3% vs. 7.0%], the success rate of puncture [86.4% vs. 96.7%], the Numeric Rating Scale score [1.97 ± 1.89 vs. 4.61 ± 2.68], and the incidence of postoperative subcutaneous hematoma and finger numbness [3.4% vs. 8.2%, 2.7% vs. 4.4%] were lower. The puncture time [6.93 ± 7.25 min vs. 3.18 ± 3.52 min] was longer, and the time until radial compression device removal was shorter [CAG: 138.61 ± 38.73 min vs. 191.6 ± 61.22 min, PCI:221.46 ± 62.45 min vs. 276.28 ± 76.39 min] in the DTRA group than TRA group (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the DTRA (OR 0.231, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.088-0.769, P = 0.001),BMI<18.5 kg/m2 (OR 2.627, 95% CI 1.142-4.216, P = 0.004), Diabetes mellitus (OR 2.15, 95%CI1.212-3.475, P = 0.014), RCD removal time (CAG,min) (OR 1.091, 95% CI 1.013-1.441, P = 0.035) and RCD removal time (PCI,min) (OR 1.067, 95% CI 1.024-1.675, P = 0.022) were the independent risk factors of RAO 1 month after intervention procedure. Conclusion DTRA was found to a lower incidence of postoperative RAO and bleeding-related complications, shorter time to achieve hemostasis, and greater patient comfort.

[PMID: 37356871 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvn.2023.04.001] [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: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of early deflation of the transradial (TR) band on the vascular outcomes of patients who have undergone coronary angiography through transradial access (TRA). The present controlled clinical trial included all patients who had undergone elective coronary angiography through TRA. The participants (n=70) met the inclusion criteria and were selected using convenient sampling. Then, they were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups, using block randomization. Data collection tools included a questionnaire on demographic and related clinical data, including the history of diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, heart failure and vascular disease, and the checklist of post-angiographic complications, including duration of the procedure, systolic and diastolic blood pressures measured before and after the procedure, and assessments of radial artery occlusion (RAO), hematoma and pain. The intervention group had their TR band on the artery for 1.5 hours after the procedure. Then, the cuff of the band was deflated at a speed of 5 cc every 15 minutes, using a syringe. However, the TR band was kept in place for 2 hours in the control group, followed by the deflation with the same speed. The pressure application time was recorded in both groups from the removal of sheaths until complete hemostasis. The patients with early deflation of the TR band experienced less pain compared to those with typical deflation (P=0.003). However, the variables of hematoma development (P=0.062) and RAO (P=0.371) were not significantly different between the patients with typical and early deflation of the TR band. The present study concluded that the patients with early deflation of the TR band experienced less pain compared to those with typical deflation. Therefore, deflating the TR band after cardiac angiography at 1,5 hours has similar efficacy and safety compare to 2 hours and associated with less reported pain score.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transradial access (TRA) has rapidly emerged as the preferred vascular access site for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Radial artery occlusion (RAO) remains as an important complication of TRA as it precludes future ipsilateral transradial procedures. While intraprocedural anticoagulation has been studied extensively, the definitive role of postprocedural anticoagulation has not yet been established. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The Rivaroxaban Post-Transradial Access for the Prevention of Radial Artery Occlusion trial is a multicentre, prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded-endpoint design study investigating the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban to reduce the incidence of RAO. Eligible patients will undergo randomisation to receive either rivaroxaban 15 mg once daily for 7 days or to no additional postprocedural anticoagulation. Doppler ultrasound to assess radial artery patency will be performed at 30 days. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol has been approved by the Ottawa Health Science Network Research Ethics Board (approval number 20180319-01H). The study results will be disseminated via conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03630055.

Abstract
Background: The transradial approach for coronary angiography is associated with fewer complications and preferred over the femoral approach. Injury to the radial artery (RA) endothelium elicits intimal hyperplasia, possibly resulting in total occlusion and limb functional decline. Flavanols are known to improve endothelial function. Effects on arterial remodeling after mechanical injury are unknown. Objective: To investigate the effects of cocoa flavanols on (a) intimal hyperplasia and (b) endothelial functional recovery after mechanical vascular wall injury through transradial coronary angiography (TCA). Methods: Primary endpoint in this double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was RA intima-media thickness (IMT) after 6 months follow-up (FU). Secondary endpoints were RA flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and fractional diameter change (Fdc). Further luminal diameter and circulating endothelial microparticles (EMP) were assessed. Thirty-six male patients undergoing elective TCA were included. Flavanol or matched placebo supplementation started 7 days prior TCA (cocoa flavanol 1000 mg day-1) for 14 days. Four measurements spanned three periods over 6-moths-FU. Results: TCA induced sustained intimal hyperplasia in the placebo-, but not in the flavanol-group (IMT 0.44 ± 0.01 vs. 0.37 ± 0.01 mm, p = 0.01). FMD decreased after TCA in both groups, but recovered to baseline after 6 months in the flavanol group only. Fdc acutely decreased, EMPs increased in the placebo-, not in the flavanol -group. Luminal diameter remained unchanged in both groups. Conclusion: Peri-interventional cocoa flavanol supplementation prevents long-term intima media thickening and endothelial dysfunction 6 months after TCA opening the perspective for dietary interventions to mitigate endothelial cell damage and intimal hyperplasia after mechanical injury.

Abstract
Background Distal Radial Artery (DRA) is a new arterial access for coronary catheterization. Assessment of the vascular complications of this new procedure is important in the provision of nursing care to cardiac patients. The aim of this study was the nursing assessment of vascular complications of DRA in angiography and angioplasty. Materials and Methods This qualitative longitudinal study was conducted on 315 consecutive patients who were candidates for coronary catheterization via DRA from 2017 to 2020 in three hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Patients who had palpable DRA and were capable and willing to consent to inclusion in the study were evaluated. Moreover, patients whose DRA access failed, and those who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass graft were excluded from the study. Vascular complications were assessed on the day of the procedure and about 1 month later. Results After the procedure, 29 cases of ecchymosis, 8 cases of hematoma, and 1 case of arteriovenous fistula in the DRA were observed. We did not observe any major vascular complications. Conclusions Nursing assessment of the snuffbox area indicated that this approach is a safe and convenient technique for cardiac catheterization with few minor complications.

Abstract
Protocols for hemostasis after trans-radial approach (TRA) vary depending on the institute as there is no established evidence-based protocol. This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of radial compression protocols. Consecutive patients who underwent outpatient invasive catheter angiography before and after April 2018 were treated with traditional and new protocols, respectively. Using the same hemostasis band, in the conventional protocol, fixed amount of air was removed soon after the procedure, 2 h later, and 3 h later, whereas the air was removed as much as possible every 30 min in the new protocol. A total of 1842 patients (71 ± 10 years old, 77% male) were included. Compared with the traditional protocol group (n = 1001), the new protocol group (n = 841) had a significantly lower rate of dual antiplatelet therapy (35% and 24% in the traditional and new groups, respectively, p < 0.001). The time required for complete hemostasis was approximately one-third with the new protocol (190 ± 16 and 66 ± 32 min, p < 0.001) with no clinically relevant bleeding. The incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) was 9.8% and 0.9% in the traditional and new protocol groups, respectively (p < 0.001). After adjusting for covariates, the new protocol was associated with a reduced risk of RAO (odds ratio 0.10, p < 0.001) and a shorter hemostasis time (odds ratio 0.01, p < 0.001). The new protocol for hemostasis after TRA was strongly associated with a shorter hemostasis time and a lower rate of RAO.
