Abstract: The incidence of coronary heart disease increases annually,percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)is one of the effective treatment methods of coronary heart disease,and the transradial artery has been the most common vascular access site utilized for this procedure.Moreover,under the new era of comfortable medical treatment,the distal transradial access(dTRA)path is a new surgical path for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention,which may be replace the traditional transradial access(TRA)pathway because of its merits of less complications and higher comfort level.However,as an emerging method,the distal radial artery also has some drawbacks,such as vascular distortion,small diameter,which may cause puncture failure,vascular spasm,and difficulty in guiding wires.This article reviews on clinical application value and progress of DRA for percutaneous coronary intervention,and aiming to promote its promotion in cardiac interventionalists to benefit PCI patients.
