Background: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy outcomes of the traditional Judkins left and right catheters with those of the recently introduced Tiger catheter in female participants aged 65 years and older who underwent transradial coronary angiography.
Methods: A cohort of 160 female patients aged 65 and older who were scheduled for coronary angiography (CAG) were divided into two groups according to the use of Tiger (n = 80) or Judkins (n = 80) catheters for radial angiography at a ratio of 1:1, respectively. We analyzed the effectiveness of the Tiger and Judkins catheters, the incidence of catheter failure, contrast volume, CAG time, fluoroscopy time, dose-area product (in mGy/cm), and the occurrence of radial spasm.
