About
Distal radial access (DRA) has recently introduced and previous studies have demonstrated that it is feasible option, showing several advantages including less bleeding and access-site complications over proximal radial access (PRA). Previous study reported the feasibility of DRA as an alternative option for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in STEMI patients without major complication. However, comparison study of each vascular access for primary PCI have not been conducted until now. Here, The investigators aim to compare the DRA, PRA and femoral access (FA), in terms of feasibility and safety, in patients with STEMI.
This is a retrospective study with patients who underwent primary PCI for STEMI between March 2020 to May 2021. The primary outcome of this study is the access-site complication including major bleeding requiring transfusion or surgery, hematoma and arterial occlusion.
Full description
Recently, DRA has gained the interest of interventional cardiologists and previous studies have demonstrated several advantages including patient and operator comfort, shorter hemostasis duration, less bleeding, and access-site complications over PRA. More recently, randomized trial demonstrated that DRA prevents radial artery occlusion after the procedure compared with PRA. From this perspective, DRA could be considered an alternative access route for primary PCI in selected STEMI patients using potent P2Y12 inhibitors such as ticagrelor or prasugrel, or glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
