Impact of transradial and transfemoral coronary interventions on bleeding and net adverse clinical events in acute coronary syndromes. Hamon M, Mehta S, Steg PG et al. France. Abstract Aims: The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the transradial approach (TRA), in comparison to the transfemoral approach (TFA), on PCI-related bleeding…
Successful Transradial Intervention for Two Lesions with Dual Anomalous Origins of Coronary Arteries Masuda N, Matsukage T, Ikari Y. Japan Abstract A 76-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for effort angina pectoris. His coronary computed tomography and coronary angiography revealed anomalous origins of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) from the proximal right coronary…
A Simple Approach for the Reduction of Knotted Coronary Catheter in the Radial Artery During the Transradial Approach Patel T, Shah S, Pancholy S. Abstract Development of a catheter knot is uncommon but still a matter of concern for a catheterizing cardiologist. There are only a few case reports of percutaneous catheter unknotting in the…
Minimally invasive transradial intervention using sheathless standard guiding catheters. anei Y, Kwan T, Nakra NC, Liou M, Huang Y, Vales LL, Fox JT, Chen JP, Saito S. Abstract Objectives: We evaluated a sheathless transradial technique for interventions using standard five and six French nonhydrophilic guiding catheters. Background: Miniaturization of transradial interventions may serve to improve…
Safety and Feasibility of Transradial Approach for Coronary Bypass Graft Angiography and Intervention. Han H, Zhou Y, Ma H et al. China. Abstract The transradial approach (TRA) is commonly applied for coronary catheterization. However, there are few reports on the safety and feasibility of transradial catheterization in patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)…
Transradial cardiac catheterization: A review of access site complications. Kanei Y, Kwan T, Nakra NC, Liou M, Huang Y, Vales LL, Fox JT, Chen JP, Saito S. Abstract Transradial catheterization (TRC) has been associated with a lower incidence of major access site related complications as compared to the transfemoral approach. With the increased adoption of…
Transradial Embolization of a Bleeding Renal Angiomyolipoma. Abrams J, Yee DC, Clark TW. USA. Abstract Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign neoplasm with a propensity to bleed among patients with tumors exceeding 4 cm in diameter but can be effectively treated with transarterial embolization to arrest or prevent hemorrhage. We report the use of transradial…
Effect of duration of hemostatic compression on radial artery occlusion after transradial access. Pancholy SB, Patel TM. Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the effect of duration of hemostatic compression on the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) after transradial coronary intervention. Background: RAO occurs in 2-10% of patients after transradial access. The effect of duration of…
