Repeated Transradial Catheterization: Feasibility, Efficacy, and Safety

Role of vascular ultrasound scanning in repeated trans‐radial coronary artery intervention (prospective randomized study)

“…The prevalence of structural changes in the scanned RAs in this study was considerably high (140/174, 80%), and were more commonly detected in RAs that were previously cannulated within one month prior to randomization. This is in concordance with previously published reports , thus, structural changes (acute and/or chronic) in any previously cannulated RA, is a universal and common finding. Nevertheless, in real life practice, repeated‐TRIs (without pre‐procedure scanning of the RAs) are done successfully in the high volume Cath.…”

“…Nevertheless, in real life practice, repeated‐TRIs (without pre‐procedure scanning of the RAs) are done successfully in the high volume Cath. Labs, with a well‐established radial program . Therefore, the authors believe that this study protocol would be of higher value and more cost‐effective if applied mainly in the following conditions: 1) planned repeated‐TRIs from the previously cannulated side more than once, 2) for patients with bilaterally cannulated RAs in previous PCIs.…”

“…, consequently, the rate of repeated transradial intervention (TRI) increased significantly . On the other hand, lately, it was proven that TRA induces trauma to the radial artery (RA) that negatively affects its structure and function .…”

Update on Transradial Access for Percutaneous Transcatheter Visceral Artery Embolization

“…Despite the increasingly frequent adoption of TRA in visceral artery intervention, few investigators have examined the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of repeat transradial catheterization. The technical success rates of the repeat transradial procedure were comparable with those of the initial procedure; high-volume centers reported repeat TRA with success rates of > 95% (70)(71)(72). A study by Yoo et al (70) reported the changes in radial artery diameter after transradial procedures.…”

Temel Angiyografi: Arter Girim Yollari ve Malzeme Tanitimi

“…Hemorajik ve diğer komplikasyonların daha az oranda görülmesi ve işlem sonrası kompresyonun daha rahat sağlanması nedeniyle tercih edilmektedir. Transradial girişe bağlı kanama %67 oranında daha düşüktür [11]. Radial girişin en önemli avantajı hastanın işlem sonrası kısa sürede mobilize olabilmesidir.…”
