Key result
Repeat TRI linked to higher acute radial artery injury rates vs. first-time procedures.
Why the study?
Does repeat transradial coronary intervention increase acute injuries and chronic intimal thickening of the radial artery compared to first-time intervention?
Observational (n=69)

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Repeat transradial coronary intervention causes significant acute injuries and chronic intimal thickening of the radial artery, potentially compromising its quality as a future bypass conduit.
Yonetsu et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Transradial coronary intervention (n=69). Repeat transradial coronary intervention vs. First-time transradial coronary intervention was evaluated on Frequency of acute injury (p=<0.001). Repeat transradial coronary intervention was associated with a significantly higher frequency of acute radial artery injury compared to first-time procedures (P<0.001).
