Hypothesis-generating for distal radial access in primary and staged PCI; prospective studies required before clinical adoption.
Is the snuffbox approach (distal radial artery access) feasible for primary PCI and recannulation for staged PCI?
The distal radial artery (snuffbox) approach is a feasible access route for both primary PCI and subsequent recannulation for staged procedures.
Kim et al. (2018) studied this question. The snuffbox approach is a feasible access route for both primary percutaneous coronary intervention and subsequent recannulation of the distal radial artery for staged PCI.
