Comparação entre as vias de acesso femoral e radial em procedimentos coronários invasivos após cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica

Comparison of radiological exposure of patients undergoing coronary angiography and staged or ad hoc percutaneous coronary intervention by radial access

“…8,9 Combining ad hoc PCI with the radial technique, compared with the femoral technique, provides more comfort for the patient, and reduces hemorrhagic complications and costs. 7,[10][11][12] The potential harmful effects of ionizing radiation are classified as deterministic effects, which occur when the exposure threshold is exceeded, increasing the probability of cell damage, and stochastic effects, which are threshold-independent, linked to the cell sensitivity of the exposed individual, and may cause somatic DNA damage, even in chronic low doses. The risk is cumulative for patients and professionals, and the greater the number of procedures performed, the greater the doses and the potential risks.…”
