Abstract:
Objective To explore the feasibility of the functional protection exercise of radial artery after transradial coronary intervention (TRI).Methods The participants were randomly divided into intervention group and control group based on groups comparison.The age and gender were matched between the two groups.The patients of control group received normal nursing care after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI);the patients of intervention group received both normal care and functional protection intervention.The intervention conducted for three days and two cycles per day,which included a completely block of ulnar artery blood flow for 15-20 minutes and a repeat of this step after 30 minutes interval.Results There were four cases of acute occlusion,three cases of stenosis and seven cases of decreased blood flow in the intervention group.After the functional protection exercise of radial artery,the four acute occlusion cases were all recovered;the diameter of the radial artery increased more than 20% for the stenosis and decreased blood flow cases;and the recovery of the radial artery diameter were significantly improved for the intervention group compared with that of the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions The functional protection exercise of radial artery after TRI has significant effects on preventing the stenosis and decreased blood flow,as well as protecting the function of the radial artery.
