Radial artery occlusion occurs in 16.4% of patients long-term after transradial coronary procedures, with hypertension, access site pain, and S/A ratio > 1 serving as independent predictors.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support RAO surveillance in at-risk patients after transradial access; leaves open whether modifying predictors reduces incidence.
The present study reveals that the long-term incidence of RAO is 16.4%. Hypertension, post-procedural access site pain and S/A ratio > 1 are independent predictors of RAO at late term.
