Background: Preventive measures for radial artery complications in distal transradial approach are not fully studied. Our aim was to investigate the role of nitroglycerine injection in patients undergoing coronary angiography via distal transradial access.

Methods: In this study, 168 patients who underwent angiographic procedures performed via distal transradial route with or without nitroglycerine injection were evaluated. Demographic, angiographic, and laboratory characteristics were recorded. Radial artery outcomes, including radial artery spasm, radial artery occlusion, and hematoma were compared between these groups and P values < .05 indicated significant differences.

Results: Radial artery outcome occurred in 22% of the study population (n = 37), with radial artery spasm being the most encountered complication (n = 28, 16.7%). The groups were not different in terms of radial artery complications. Procedural features were also comparable except for the total contrast volume used.

Conclusion: Coronary angiographic procedures could be performed safely using distal transradial access without nitroglycerine injection.

Radial access is considered the preferred method for coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention. Radial artery thrombosis (RAT) stands out as the primary complication associated with trans-radial access. Our objective was to explore the occurrence of RAT and its associated risk factors.

Objective: As radiocephalic fistula is not necessarily appropriate for all patients with advanced kidney disease, our aim was to investigate the sensitive indicators that affect the functional primary patency of radiocephalic fistulas.

Methods: This prospective observational study included consecutive patients referred to the Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University for initial creation of radiocephalic fistula from July 2017 to December 2019. Preoperative ultrasound parameters, demographic characteristics, serum indicators and comorbidities were recorded.

Objective: This meta-analysis elucidates the efficacy of the Transradial Band Device (TR Band) in minimizing complications like radial artery occlusion and hematoma, preserving heart health, and enhancing blood flow post-transradial catheterization.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search across databases including PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase examined the impact of radial artery compression techniques and decompression times on complications. Data from 13 studies were analyzed using R 4.
