Diameters and Flow Characteristics of Forearm Arteries in the Preoperative Period Using Doppler Ultrasonography in Healthy Individuals

Abstract: Background: Transradial approach (TRA) is widely used all around the world in coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary interventions. Ulnar artery (UA) access can be used as an alternative to TRA in coronary catheterization. Transulnar approach (TUA) is as effective and safe as TRA in coronary angiography and angioplasty. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of unilateral reciprocal compression of radial artery (RA) and ulnar artery (UA) on arterial diameter, flow velocity… Show more

“…This result may be another reason why the increase in RA PSV after UA catheterization was not as marked and significant as the increase in UA PSV after RA catheterization. Our results were in line with those of previous studies [2,16], indicating an increase in the RA diameter and blood flow after transient UA compression. In our study, the fact that the RA diameter was greater than that of the UA may have affected these results.…”

“…The radial artery (RA) and ulnar artery (UA) are commonly the preferred access sites for coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous intervention (PCI). While the transforearm approach is considered a safe and ef-fective option for PCI, the different anatomical and flow characteristics of the RA and UA deserve attention [1,2]. Both arteries form dense anastomotic arches that provide sufficient blood flow to the hand.…”
