Application of transradial approach in percutaneous coronary intervention for elderly patient coronary artery disease / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of transradial approach in percutaneous coronary intervention for elderly patient with coronary artery disease,and provide reference for clinic. Methods There were 198 patients older than 70 years with coronary artery disease in our hospital from March 2007 to March 2013,who were divided into the radial group(n=100) and the femoral group(n=98) according to differ-ent puncture pathways. The X-ray exposure time,operative time,amount of contrast medium,the success rate of puncture,achievement ratio of operation and venous complications were compared and analyzed. Results The X-ray exposure time,operative time,amount of contrast me-dium,the success rate of puncture,achievement ratio of operation of 2 groups has no significant differences(P>0. 05). The venous complica-tion of radial group was less than that of femoral group,the difference was statistical significance(P<0. 05). Conclusion The transradial approach in percutaneous coronary intervention for elderly patient with coronary artery disease was feasible and safe,with less complication.
