Abstract:
Objective To assess the feasibility of coronary angiography by transradial approach with 4 F catheter.Methods The procedural details, picture quality and local complication of coronary angiography by transradial approach with 4 F catheter in 138 patients were recorded and analyzed. Results The success rate of angiography was 97.7%. Mean fluoroscopy time was 5.05?3.23 minutes with total procedural time was 20.51?3.37 minutes. The incidence of dislodgement and excessive engagement of either coronary artery was 7.8% and 9.4% repectively. The angiographic scores for left anterior descending, circumflex and right coronary arteries were 2.87?0.40, 2.88?0.39, 2.90?0.35, respectively. Vasospasm occurred in 6 cases in the radial artery and in another 2 cases in the coronary artery. There were no occlusion of radial artery found during follow up. Conclusion Four-F catheter could be utilized in selected patients for its nice maneuverability, fine images and less vascular complications during angiography.
