The study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of coronary intervention via distal transradial access (dTRA) in patients with low body mass index (BMI). A total of 67 patients with low BMI who underwent coronary intervention, comprising 29 patients via dTRA and 38 patients via conventional transradial access (cTRA), were retrospectively included. There was no significant difference in the puncture success rate between the two groups (dTRA 96.

Methods: For this single-centre prospective cohort study, a total of 1066 patients who underwent CAG or PCI procedures from September 2019 to November 2020 were included. Patients were divided into two groups: the d-TRA group (346) and the conventional transradial artery access (c-TRA) group (720) based on access site.

Article Synopsis
- Radial artery occlusion is a frequent issue after heart procedures using the transradial approach, and there's limited information on how to treat it via distal access.
- A 67-year-old woman with heart issues underwent emergency angiography and faced radial artery occlusion, but it was successfully treated through the distal transradial access before she was discharged.
- The successful recanalization suggests that addressing radial artery occlusion through distal access is a safe and practical option.
