ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Reducing complications at the puncture site after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is important. The diameter of a 6.5-French (Fr) sheathless guiding catheter (GC) is smaller by approximately 2-Fr compared to a 6-Fr conventional sheath. In the present study, we investigated the post-PCI puncture site complications of a transradial approach in each gender while using a 6.5-Fr sheathless GC. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
Our study consisted of 332 patients who underwent transradial coronary intervention (TRI) between August 2017 and July 2019. We classified the patients into either the 6.5-Fr sheathless GC (Asahi, Intecc, Aichi, Japan) Group (Sheathless group n = 182 males, 58 females) or the 6-Fr sheathed GC Group (Sheathed group n = 150 males, 36 females). We determined the complications at the puncture site oozing, subcutaneous hemorrhage, formation of hematoma, pseudoaneurysms, and peripheral neuropathy. The body mass index of the patients was greater in the sheathless GC group compared to the sheathed GC group (24.5 ± 3.5 kg/m2 vs. 23.6 ± 3.7 kg/m2, p = 0.02). In males, there was no significant difference in the complication rate at the puncture site between the sheathless GC and sheathed GC groups (19.3% vs. 18.6%, p = 0.88). However, the complication rate at the puncture site in females was higher in the sheathed GC group than in the sheathless GC group (36% vs. 15.5%, p = 0.02). A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the use of a 6.5-Fr sheathless GC independently reduced the complications in female patients (p = 0.006).CONCLUSION:
The use of the 6.5-Fr sheathless GC system in a transradial approach reduced the complications at the puncture site in female patients. The 6.5-Fr sheathless GC system may be a safe option for them compared to the conventional sheath system.Palavras-chave
