Thin-wall design with superior insertion and unique sheath-securement solution to support successful radial access procedures and may aid in reducing ...

Distal radial procedures were associated with more radial artery spasm (2.7% vs 5.4%, P =0.015) but not more pain. Overall bleeding events and vascular complications did not differ between groups.

A total of 447 patients had 491 endovascular interventions for lower extremity and subclavian disease, of whom 143 patients (32%) had 156 (31.8%) endovascular interventions with radial artery ...

Among experienced operators, prophylactic nitroglycerin did not prevent radial artery spasm during transradial access compared with placebo, though it was associated with fewer incidences among ...

In that trial, distal radial procedures were associated with more radial artery spasm (2.7% vs 5.4%, respectively, P =0.015) but not more pain.

The duration of the intervention wasn’t any longer with distal radial access, but the rate of radial artery spasm was higher (5.4% vs 2.7%; P < 0.015). The overall time to hemostasis was longer with ...

There was also no significant interaction between diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the occurrence of radial artery occlusion. The early administration of nitroglycerin was associated with a ...

Background Despite the introduction of medications to prevent blocking and spasm, long-term graft patency of the radial artery as a bypass conduit has been questioned. Here, Desai and colleagues ...

He also cautioned that for less experienced operators, radial artery spasm is more common in women and, in his experience in Singapore, in people of South Asian descent. Dr David Kandzari ...

A radial artery taken from a patient's wrist or arm, versus a saphenous vein from the leg or thigh, has been shown to provide the best outcome five years after coronary artery bypass grafting.

The DRA group was also twice as likely to crossover to another access point (7.5% vs 3.7%; P = .002) and to experience radial artery spasm (5.4% vs 2.7%; P < .015). "The message first is that if ...
