Distal Versus Conventional Transradial Artery Access for Coronary Catheterization in Patients With STEMI

Conditions: ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Coronary Artery Disease, Distal Transradial Artery, Transradial Artery, Coronary Catheterization, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Primary PCI

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – N/A

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 578

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.
