Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of balloon-assisted tracking (BAT) technique in guiding the catheter through the spastic radial artery via percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods:The data of patients who received coronary intervention through the transradial approach in Department of Cardiology of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from June 2014 to September 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.69 cases of radial artery and / or brachial artery spasm were selected, of which 24 cases were treated with BAT technique (group BAT), and 45 cases were treated by the conventional method (conventional group).The success rate of the catheter through the spastic segment and the incidence of related complications were compared between the two methods.Results:In the BAT group, the guide catheter was successfully negotiated across the spastic segment or dissecting vessels in all 24 cases (100%), while in only 14 cases (31.1%) in the conventional group (P=0.000).Guide catheter traversing the spastic segment within 5min, between 5min and 15min, and more than 15min was seen in 20 (83.3%), 3 (12.5%) and 1 (4.2%) patients in the BAT group, while in 2 (14.3%), 6(42.9%) and 6 (42.9%) patients in the conventional group, respectively (P=0.000).Incidence of forearm hematoma was 8.3% and 20% in the BAT group and the conventional group, and the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusions:The BAT technique is a safe and effective way to guide the catheter through the spasm of radial and/or brachial artery via percutaneous coronary intervention.BAT is superior to the conventional technique.
