Background: The potential benefits of the thin-walled 5F Glidesheath Slender sheath in the distal transradial access (dTRA) have not been investigated. This study aimed to compare the Glidesheath Slender versus conventional 5Fr arterial sheaths in patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography (CAG) through the dTRA.
Methods: A total of 352 consecutive patients with an indication for CAG were randomized (1:1) to Glidesheath Slender 5Fr versus a conventional 5Fr arterial sheath for dTRA.
