Article Synopsis
- - Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is a common complication after traditional radial artery (TRA) procedures, which affects future access and use of the radial artery as a conduit; however, distal radial artery (DRA) access has shown promise for reducing RAO rates.
- - A study analyzed 11 randomized trials with 5,700 patients and found that TRA access had a significantly higher incidence of RAO compared to DRA (risk ratio 3.05), but TRA had a lower crossover rate for access failures (risk ratio 0.35).
- - Despite TRA leading to more RAO cases, there were no significant differences in radial artery spasm or hematoma formation between TRA and DRA, indicating
Patients with cancer are at higher risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Currently there are no definitive data on clinical outcomes for nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOACs) and warfarin in cancer patients with AF. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NOACs compared with warfarin.
