ABSTRACT
Objective To compare safety and feasibility using radial versus femoral access during cardiac catheterization of patients who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass graft ( CABG) surgery. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 116 consecutive patients who underwent graft intervention via the transradial (TRA group, n = 46) or transfemoral approach (TFA group, n = 70), and observed the baseline clinical characteristics, angiography characteristics and complications between the 2 groups. Results The baseline clinical characteristics between the 2 groups were similar ( all P > 0. 05) . No significant difference was observed in angiography characteristics and procedural parameters including operation time, radiation exposure and puncture time between the 2 groups (all P > 0. 05). There was no significant difference in major adverse cardiac events during hospitalization. PCI to graft vessels were all successful and procedural success rates were similar between the 2 groups (P = 0. 669). Vascular access site complications were significantly lower ( P = 0. 03) in the TRA group. No access site complication was recorded in the TRA group. 7 cases (10. 0% ) with complications were recorded in the TFA group including 1 case of major bleeding (1. 4% ), 3 cases of minor bleeding (4. 3% ), 2 cases of local hematorna (2. 9% ) and 1 case of A-V fistula formation. Conclusions In contrast to the transfemoral route, the rate of major vascular complications was negligible using the transradial approach.
