Key Points

The aim is to investigate how catheter procedures can reveal hidden vascular problems in systemic sclerosis patients.
Observational analysis of patients with systemic sclerosis undergoing catheter procedures.
Assessment of digital ischemia occurrences after radial access procedures.
Evaluation of patient histories and vascular health prior to interventions.
Digital ischemia was observed in several cases following catheter procedures.
The findings suggest that pre-existing vasculopathy may be aggravated by vascular injury.
Microvascular dysfunction was consistently indicated in affected patients.

Implication

Observational analysis reveals digital ischemia following catheter procedures in systemic sclerosis, indicating latent vascular issues.

Abstract

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by microvascular dysfunction and progressive fibrosis. Vascular injury related to catheter procedures may unmask latent vasculopathy in patients with SSc.
