Distal radial artery access for PCI showed no significant change in hand function and similar rates of access-site bleeding and radial artery occlusion at 1 year vs. proximal access, a speaker ...

ATLANTA -- Radial artery access for cardiac catheterization appeared similarly safe for the hand whether done proximally or distally, the randomized DIPRA trial showed. Overall change in 30-day ...

ATLANTA — Thirty-day hand function did not differ following distal radial artery access compared with proximal radial access PCI, researchers reported.According to the results of the DIPRA ...

Radial artery catheterization in the prior year was an exclusion criterion. Patients could decide whether their dominant or non-dominant hand was used for access.

A nine-month-old infant was diagnosed with a radial artery aneurysm, a rare and dangerous condition. After comprehensive diagnostic tests, a successful surgery was performed to remove the aneurysm.

Complications of surgery include injury to branches of the radial artery, branches of the sensory cutaneous nerves, scar adhesion, wrist stiffness, and recurrence.

PHOENIX, AZ—Patients who undergo cardiac catheterization with distal radial artery access have similar grip strength and other measures of hand function at 1 year as patients who had conventional ...

The radial artery has outperformed the saphenous vein as a conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting in a five-year follow-up of patients with multivessel disease undergoing surgery in a ...

The composite of hand function was comparable between PRA and DRA at one year. "We know that radial artery occlusion is a potential complication of repeated heart catheterizations through the wrist.

(UPDATED) For patients undergoing transradial coronary angiography, manual and mechanical compression of the puncture site result in similar rates of radial artery occlusion, although the time ...
