Applications of Transradial Approach for Endovascular Interventions / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the applications of transradial approach for endovascular interventions and to discuss the technical key points,indications,contraindications and advantages.Methods 230 patients underwent endovascular interventions via radial artery for 265 times.Technical success rate and related complications were recorded.Results Out of 265 times of interventions,260(98.1%) achieved success.No serious complications occurred except 3 local hematomas and during follow-up,weakened palpation of the radialartery in 8 cases and one arterial occlusion occurred,but without hand ischemia.Conclusion Transradial approach for endovascularinterventions is feasible and safe,and it has such advantages as high success rate,minimal complications,more comfort and less influence on treatment plan.
