Distal Versus Proximal Radial Arterial Access for Percutaneous Coronary Angiography and Intervention: Updated Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Am J Cardiol 2024; 218:34-42. [PMID: 38432336 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2024.02.032] [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: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is a major impediment to reintervention in patients who underwent proximal transradial access (p-TRA) for coronary catheterization. Distal transradial access (d-TRA) at the level of snuffbox distal to the radial artery bifurcation is a novel alternative to p-TRA. We conducted an updated meta-analysis of all available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the incidence of RAO between p-TRA and d-TRA, along with access site-related complications. PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched for RCTs published since 2017 to October 2023 comparing d-TRA and p-TRA for coronary angiography and/or intervention. Risk ratios (RRs) and mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the random-effects model for procedural and clinical outcomes for the 2 approaches. A total of 18 RCTs with 8,205 patients (d-TRA n = 4,096, p-TRA n = 4,109) were included. The risk of RAO (RR 0.31, 0.21 to 0.46, p ≤0.001) and time to hemostasis (minutes) (MD -51.18, -70.62 to -31.73, p <0.001) was significantly lower in the d-TRA group. Crossover rates (RR 2.39, 1.71 to 3.32, p <0.001), access time (minutes) (MD 0.93, 0.50 to 1.37, p <0.001), procedural pain (MD 0.46, 0.13 to 0.79, p = 0.006), and multiple puncture attempts (RR 2.13, 1.10 to 4.11, p = 0.03) were significantly higher in the d-TRA group. The use of d-TRA for coronary angiography and/or intervention is associated with a lower risk of RAO at the forearm and may preserve p-TRA site for reintervention in selective patients by reducing the incidence of RAO.

Abstract
(1) Background Cerebral revascularization is necessary to treat intracranial arterial stenosis caused by moyamoya disease, atherosclerosis, or large complex aneurysms. Although various donor vascular harvesting methods have been reported safe, there are no reports on the histological evaluation of donor vessels for each disease, despite the variety of diseases wherein vascular anastomosis is required. (2) Methods Pathological findings of the superficial temporal artery (STA), radial artery (RA), occipital artery (OA), and saphenous vein (SV) harvested at the institution were analyzed. Patients classified according to aneurysm, atherosclerosis, and moyamoya disease were assessed for pathological abnormalities, medical history, age, sex, smoking, and postoperative anastomosis patency. (3) Results There were 38 cases of atherosclerosis, 15 cases of moyamoya disease, and 30 cases of aneurysm in 98 donor vessels (mean age 57.2) taken after 2006. Of the 84 STA, 11 RA, 2 OA, and 1 SV arteries that were harvested, 71.4% had atherosclerosis, 11.2% had dissection, and 10.2% had inflammation. There was no significant difference in the proportion of pathological findings according to the disease. A history of hypertension is associated with atherosclerosis in donor vessels. (4) Conclusions This is the first study to histologically evaluate the pathological findings of donor vessels according to disease. The proportion of dissection findings indicative of vascular damage due to surgical manipulation was not statistically different between the different conditions.

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.

Agreement between distal and forearm radial arterial pressures in patients undergoing prone spinal surgery: a prospective, self-controlled, observational study. J Int Med Res 2023; 51:3000605231188285. [PMID: 37646630 PMCID: PMC10469259 DOI: 10.1177/03000605231188285] [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: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test agreement and interchangeability between distal (dRA) and forearm radial arterial (RA) pressures (AP) during general anesthesia (GA) for prone spinal surgery. METHODS This prospective observational study involved 40 patients scheduled for GA spinal surgery. The right dRA and left forearm RA were cannulated in all patients to continuously measure invasive blood pressures (IBP). We compared the agreement and trending ability of systolic AP (SAP), diastolic AP (DAP), and mean AP (MAP) at each site 15 minutes after tracheal intubation, start of surgery, 30 and 60 minutes after the start of surgery, and after skin suturing. RESULTS Paired BP values (n = 184) (37 cases) were analyzed. The bias (standard deviation), limits of agreement, and percentage error were: SAP: 0.19 (3.03), -5.75 to 6.12, and 5.04%; DAP: -0.06 (1.75), -3.50 to 3.38, and 5.10%; and MAP: 0.08 (1.52), -2.90 to 3.05, and 3.54%, respectively. The linear regression coefficients of determination were 0.981, 0.982, and 0.988 for SAPs, DAPs, and MAPs, respectively; four-quadrant plot concordance rates were 95.11%, 92.03%, and 92.66%, respectively. CONCLUSION All arterial BPs showed good agreement and trending capabilities for both the dRA and RA. The dRA may be substituted for the RA in IBP monitoring.

Lower Patient Height and Weight Are Predisposing Factors for Complex Radial Arterial Catheterization. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12062225. [PMID: 36983225 PMCID: PMC10056435 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12062225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Radial artery (RA) catheterization for invasive blood pressure monitoring is often performed via palpation, and an ultrasound is used secondarily only in case of multiple unsuccessful attempts. Although more elaborate, it has been shown that primary ultrasound-guided catheterization may be advantageous compared with palpation. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with difficult RA catheterization. Methods: Left RA ultrasound assessments were performed in patients with indicated invasive blood pressure monitoring the day before surgery. RA catheterization was performed by personnel blinded to the ultrasound results. Based on the number of attempts needed for successful catheter placement, the cohort was divided into uncomplicated (group 1) and difficult (more than one attempt, group 2) catheterization cases. Cases subjected to primary ultrasound were excluded from the analysis. Results: Body weight, height and surface area (BSA) of patients in group 2 (n = 16) were significantly lower than those of patients in group 1 (n = 25), and internal RA diameters were significantly smaller in group 2 patients. In the whole cohort, BSA was significantly associated with distal and proximal internal RA diameters. In contrast, no differences were observed in the skin-to-artery distance, the longitudinal axis deviation (kinking) or blood flow velocity. Median time to successful catheterization was 77 (47–179) s. Prolonged time needed for cannulation was significantly associated with lower body weight, BMI and BSA, and with reduced distal and proximal internal RA diameter. Conclusions: RA catheterization performed through pulse palpation may be difficult, especially in adult patients with lower body weight and height, due to reduced arterial diameters. Initial use of ultrasound in these patients may reduce first-attempt failure, preventing procedural delays and patient discomfort.

Abstract
RESEARCH PROBLEM The conventional radial approach is the recommended vascular access for percutaneous coronary interventions. It is effective and feasible but associated with a risk of occlusion of the radial artery. The distal radial approach is proposed as a new approach to reduce complications and preserve the radial artery. However, few clinical trials in real life were conducted in North African patients. This trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the distal radial approach versus the conventional radial approach. Investigative process : This trial is a non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms: distal radial approach and conventional radial approach. Two hundred fifty patients scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention will be included. The two main endpoints are the puncture success rate with a non-inferiority margin of 10% and the occlusion rate of the punctured radial artery attributed to the end of hemostasis and to 30 days. Secondary Endpoints : catheterization success, crossover rate, procedure time, radial artery spasm, bleeding complications, QuickDASH pain score, Operator satisfaction. A single blind analysis will be led according to the per-protocol and intention-to-treat methods. RESEARCH PLAN Ethical considerations will be undertaken and respected. This trial will run for four months from February 2022. The results will provide parameters related to the efficacy and safety of the distal radial approach, improving clinical practice. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT05311111.
