Why the study?
Is the transradial approach safe and feasible for coronary interventions in patients with coronary heart disease?
Is the transradial approach safe and feasible for coronary interventions in patients with coronary heart disease?
Coronary intervention via the transradial approach is feasible and associated with minor complications, though puncture can be difficult and catheter support may be limited.
May support transradial feasibility in select cases; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without larger studies.
Objective To study the safety of transradial approach for coronary interventions.Methods Coronary intervention was tried to be performed via transradial approach in 80 patients with coronary heart disease.Results Transradial puncture failed in 4 cases and coronary interventions were performed via trarsfemoral approach or transbrachial approach instead.Coronary angiography failed in 3 cases although transradial puncture succeeded.Both transradial puncture and coronary intervention succeeded in the rest 73 cases.Conclusions Coronary intervention via transradial approach is feasible,the radial artery puncture is some what diificult,and guiding catheter support is poor to some extent,complications and suffering are minor after operating,but one must be cautious about vascular damages near the puncture site.
