ABSTRACT

La punción percutánea de la arteria radial para la realización de procedimientos por cateterismo ha ganado aceptación debido a una eficacia similar a la obtenida con el acceso femoral. En el presente trabajo evaluamos los resultados obtenidos con la punción repetida de esta arteria. En un total de 182 accesos radiales se realizaron 17 punciones repetidas, y mediante ellas, 20 procedimientos (9 coronariografías y 11 angioplastias). Se obtuvo éxito del acceso en 15 punciones repetidas (88.2%) y éxito del procedimiento en todos los casos cuando logramos éxito del acceso. Si bien el grupo es pequeño es suficiente para mostrar que la punción repetida de la arteria radial es factible y permite una alta tasa de éxito de los procedimientos con una disminución ostensible de las complicaciones locales.


The radial artery approach for percutaneous cardiac interventions has gained worldwide acceptance due to the similar results obtained by the femoral artery access. In this paper, we report our experience with repeated puncture of the radial artery. One hundred and eighty two radial artery access procedures were performed, in 17 interventions the puncture was repeated once or twice, with a total of 20 therapeutic catheterizations (9 coronary angiographies, 11 angioplasties). There was no therapeutic failure through the radial approach but, we successfully gained access in 88.2% (15/17) of the re-interventions cases. Although an experience with a low number of cases, we had a very high successful therapeutic rate, and also a remarkable lowering of local complications, this shows the feasibility and potential of this technique.
