Impact of Anthropometric Measures on Distal vs Conventional Radial Access for Percutaneous Coronary Procedures
Authors' conclusion
The results of this exploratory analysis are consistent with the main findings of the trial and support the use of DRA in all patients, regardless of anthropometric measures.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with indications for percutaneous coronary procedure using a 6-F Slender sheath
- Participants
- 650 vs 657
- Comparison
- Distal radial access (DRA) vs transradial access
- DRAn = 650
- Transradial accessn = 657
- Primary endpoint
- Incidence of forearm RAO (primary endpoint of the trial)
Methodological detailsexploratory analysis
- Exploratory analysis
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
- Extremely uncommon
Secondary outcomes
Radial artery spasm, crossover, hemostasis time, and access site complications across tertiles of weight, height, body mass index, and body surface area
- Main effect of vascular access remained, with no significant interaction effect
- Both before and after adjustment for sex and age
- Exploratory analysis
