Best Practices for the Prevention of Radial Artery Occlusion After Transradial Diagnostic Angiography and Intervention An International Consensus Paper
I Bernat, A Aminian, the RAO International Group.
KEYWORDS
hemostasis; radial artery occlusion; transradial
Transradial access (TRA) is increasingly used worldwide for percutaneous
interventional procedures and associated with lower bleeding and
vascular complications than transfemoral artery access. Radial artery
occlusion (RAO) is the most frequent post-procedural complication of
TRA, restricting the use of the same radial artery for future procedures
and as a conduit for coronary artery bypass graft. The authors review
recent advances in the prevention of RAO following percutaneous TRA
diagnostic or interventional procedures. Based on the available data,
the authors provide easily applicable and effective recommendations to
prevent periprocedural RAO and maximize the chances of access in case of
repeat catheterization or coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.
