Distal Versus Conventional Transradial Artery Access for Coronary Catheterization in Patients With STEMI
Sponsor: University Hospital of Patras
Summary
Recently, a novel distal transradial, through anatomical snuffbox, approach has been proposed for undertaking percutaneous coronary angiography and interventions. The existing literature has evaluated distal transradial access (dTRA) as a feasible and safe approach, with faster hemostasis, lower rates of periprocedural complications and reduced incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Aim of the present study is to compare dTRA versus conventional TRA access in patients with STEMI undergoing coronary angiography and interventions regarding peri- and post-procedural characteristics.
