Application of different guide wire in transradial coronary angiography / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore influence of different guide wire on transradial coronary angiography (CAG). Methods:A total of 238 patients,who received successful transradial CAG in our hospital from Nov 2009 to Jan 2013,were selected.According to kinds of guide wire,they were divided into group A (n=119,used ordinary J type exchange guide wire)and group B (n=119,used loach exchange guide wire.Trafficability,supporting force and incidence rate of complications were compared between above two groups.Results:The trafficability of loach exchange guide wire was significantly better than that of ordinary J type exchange guide wire,the pass rates of elbow joint (98.3% vs.87.4%)and brachiocephalic trunk (100% vs.96.2%)were significantly higher than those of or-dinary J type exchange guide wire (P<0.01 or <0.05).For guide wire support to rotate catheter,ordinary J type exchange guide wire had obvious advantages,its success rate of left CAG (98.3%)was significantly higher than that of loach exchange guide wire (89.1%),P<0.01.There were no significant differences in incidence rate of compli-cations between two groups.Conclusion:Ordinary J type exchange guide wire could be preferred in coronary angiog-raphy,and loach exchange guide wire can be considered if the former can't pass.
