Mechanisms and Predictors of Failed Transradial Approach for PCI

Dehghani P, et al. JACC Cardiovasc Interv. 2009;2:1059-1064

Radial artery puncture – Right vs. Left

Right or left RA ??? Radial artery puncture – Right vs. Left

Right RA… Left RA...

Operator’s comfort Operator has to bend

Lower radiation dose for physician Higher dose of radiation

Look out for RSA tortuosity LSA not so tortuous

1-catheter coronary angio Coronary angio with 2 diagnostic

catheters

Mind the size of the catheters (0.5 F

smaller than for transfemoral

Same size of catheters as for

transfemoral approach

Requires more catheter navigation for

coronary ostia engagement

Easier to engage coronary ostia

Angiography of LIMA might be tricky Easy accessible LIMA

Radial Artery Puncture – Right vs. Left

Very obese patient

Long hydrophilic sheath

Sheathless catheter

If 0.035” diagnostic guidewire

doesn’t go

Use 0.014’ coronary guidewire to

introduce long hydrophilic sheath or

sheathless catheter into the brachial

or subclavian artery

Perforations / hematomas…

In case of perforation the best prevention of large hematoma is exchange of your

sheath into appropriately sized Sheatheless guiding catheter and to continue the

procedure!!!

Pseudoaneurysms…

Usually they heal spontaneously, but sometimes surgery is needed…

– J-tip avoids unintentional engagement of vascular

side branches

• Flexible wire morphology

How to reduce the risk of RA occlusion?

European Heart Journal (2012) 33, 2521–2528

Proved May decrease the risk Not really reducing

the risk

Avoid puncturing the

same RA again
