Objective: We evaluated the impact of transradial coronary procedures on the radial artery (RA).
Methods: A total of 355 patients who underwent the transradial coronary procedures including transradial coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled. The right RA (RRA) was examined by ultrasound.
Results: The mean RRA diameter was 2.37 +/- 0.57, 1.95 +/- 0.50, and 2.23 +/- 0.41 mm, respectively, before the procedure, 1 day, and 1 month after the procedures (P < .01 at 1 day, P < .05 at 1 month). The mean intima-media thickness of RRA was 0.25 +/- 0.12, 0.69 +/- 0.31, and 0.38 +/- 0.17 mm, respectively, before the procedure, 1 day and 1 month after the procedure (P < .01 at 1 day, P < .05 at 1 month). The incidence of RRA stenosis was 0%, 15.7%, and 7.6%, respectively; the incidence of RRA occlusion was 0%, 2.8%, and 1.7%, respectively, before the procedure,1 day and 1 month after the procedure.
Conclusions: Transradial coronary procedures can lead to early RA injury, but this repairs later.

Comparison of patient radiation exposure in coronary angiography via the trans-radial versus trans-femoral approach.
Indian Heart J
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, Bangalore, India.
Background: Cardiac catheterization via the trans-radial approach (TRA) has shown several advantages over the trans-femoral approach (TFA) but with a concern of higher radiation exposure. Considering the growing experience with TRA, this study compares patient's radiation during coronary angiography using TRA versus TFA.
Methods: This study included consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiogram over a year at tertiary hospital performed by experienced operators through radial or femoral access.
Factors influencing forearm swelling after transradial artery intervention and establishment of a predictive model: a prospective study.
Eur J Cardiovasc Nurs

Department of cardiovascular medicine, Peking University Third Hospital, 100080 Beijing, China.
Aims: Forearm swelling is a common complication following transradial artery interventions. Identifying the factors that influence this swelling and developing predictive models for it are crucial yet underexplored issues. This study was performed to investigate the risk factors for forearm swelling after transradial artery puncture and construct a predictive model.

Introduction And Objectives: Rotational atherectomy (RA) is widely used for the management of calcified coronary stenoses. However, there is limited data on its use, trends, and outcomes. We sought to report our twelve-year experience with RA and explore the trends and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with this device.

Background: A minimum threshold activated clotting time (ACT) to guide heparin dosing during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with lower ischemic complications. However, data are variable regarding the risk of high ACT levels. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of peak procedural ACT on complications and mortality for transfemoral and transradial access PCI.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA.
Background: Trans-radial coronary angiogram (TR-CAG) has gained popularity due to lower complication rates compared to transfemoral access. Operators can use either conventional catheters, such as Judkins, or single dedicated catheters, such as Tiger-II. This meta-analysis compared the safety and efficacy of Tiger-II versus Judkins catheters in TR-CAG.
