Abstract

BACKGROUND: Trans-radial angioplasty has various advantages over trans-femoral approach and it is a feasible route for percutaneous coronary intervention and may be related to occlusion of radial because of its significant complication, radial artery occlusion.

AIMS & OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study is to assess the radial artery patency after transradial coronary intervention. 

MATERIALS AND METHODS:  The observational prospective study was carried out at cardiology department at Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore from October 2020 to March 2021. by non-probability consecutive sampling. All the patients who underwent transradial coronary intervention were enrolled for the study and were assessed for radial artery occlusion (RAO)  after one month follow-up. Radial blood flow, demographic characteristics and risk factors was recorded during the study. Data was analyzed and expressed as mean ± S.D. and percentages.

RESULTS: The study included 155 patients, out of which 15 developed radial artery occlusion. Significant difference was observed for gender (p=0.04) and age (p = 0.04).

CONCLUSION: Trans radial approach (TRA) is a safe procedure and have huge range of benefits over transfemoral approach. Comparatively higher number of radial artery patency patients in our study further supports the well-established safety of transradial approach.

KEY WORDS: Radial artery patency, clinical and radiological examination, percutaneous coronary intervention.
