Safety and feasibility of a 7F thin-walled sheath distal transradial artery access for complex coronary intervention.

Background: Compared with traditional trans-radial artery access (TRA), there are limited data that can confirm the efficacy and safety of a 7F thin-walled sheath placed distal TRA (dTRA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Objective: This study aims to analyze the safety and efficacy of the placement of a 7F thin-walled sheath dTRA for PCI.

Methods: This was a single-center retrospective observational study in which 102 patients who received complex PCIs with a 7F thin-walled sheath placed dTRA in the catheter room of our hospital from May 2020 to October 2021 were included.

Analysis of the Risk Factors Related to the Success Rate of Distal Transradial Artery Access in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the factors influencing the success rate of distal transradial access (dTRA) for coronary intervention.

Methods: A total of 246 patients who underwent either coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention in the Xuzhou Central Hospital were enrolled in this study. Access via the distal radial artery was the first choice for the procedure, and the success rate of this approach was recorded.
