Abstract:
:Background and aim The purpose of this study was to assess incidence, predictors and outcome of radial artery occlusion (RAO) after transradial catheterization (TRC) based on clinical and Doppler ultrasound study. Methods A total of 1,945 consecutive patients undergoing transradial catheterization for diagnostic evaluation or intervention were included. Radial artery examination was based on palpation and colour Doppler study on the day before, 1 day (D1), 1 month (D30) and 6 months (D180) following the procedure. RAO was defined as absence of pulse on palpation and forward flow on Doppler study. Predictors of RAO were found by logistic regression analysis. Results Baseline demographic and procedural data were recorded. The mean radial arterial diameter was 2.56 ± 0.29 mm. On D1, radial artery Doppler examination revealed RAO in 339 patients (17.4%) but pulse was still palpable in 115 (34%) of them. At D30, these were 221 (11.4%) and 114 (52%), respectively, as no new RAO were noted. Interestingly, 118 (34.8%) patients had spontaneous recanalization of their radial artery as shown by catch-up in patency rate. At D180, these were 99 (5.1%) and 68 (69%), respectively, meaning further new catch-up implying further recanalization. Patients with persistent RAO remained asymptomatic. On multivariate analysis, female sex, diabetes, lower BMI, radial artery diameter ≤2.2 mm and radial artery-to-sheath ratio (AS ratio) < 1 were predictors of RAO. Conclusion TRC for coronary angiography, ad hoc and staged angioplasty can be performed with similar efficacy and safety though RAO occurs more frequently in patients with prior radial artery cannulation and with larger sheath size. Persistent RAO remains asymptomatic.
