Remaining challenges and opportunities for improvement in percutaneous transradial coronary procedures

Original language description

The adoption of transradial coronary angiography and coronary intervention is growing because of emerging data on its potential advantages over the femoral approach. As the adoption of radial procedures increases, it is important to understand the remaining challenges of both the technique and its implementation. In this review, we discuss four important issues related to transradial procedures-radial access site bleeding, radial artery injury and occlusion, radiation exposure, and implementation of a successful transradial primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) programme. Although the radial artery is superficial and haemostasis can be achieved readily, access site bleeding can occur that, if left unchecked, can lead to forearm haematoma and, rarely, to compartment syndrome. Radial artery injury and occlusion are consequences of radial access, and randomized trials show that use of smaller diameter sheaths, adequate anticoagulation, and postprocedure 'patent' haemostasis red
