Successful transradial intervention via a radial recurrent artery branch from the radioulnar alpha loop using a sheathless guiding catheter [PDF]
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine, 2018 The radial artery is generally the preferred access route in coronary angiography and coronary intervention. However, small size, spasm, and anatomical variations concerning the radial artery are major limitations of transradial coronary intervention ...

Use of the Sheathless Eaucath Is an Effective Strategy to Overcome Resistant Severe Radial Spasm
Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 2023 Objectives. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of the sheathless Eaucath guiding catheter (SEGC) in overcoming severe spasm. Background. Radial spasm is a frequent challenge in transradial access (TRA) and can be difficult to manage. Methods.

Efficacy of Physiologic Temperature on the Spasm of Harvested Radial Artery
The Heart Surgery Forum, 2006 The potential disadvantage of using the radial artery for coronary artery bypass grafting is its increased tendency to vasospasm. Therefore, different antispastic agents are being used in the perioperative and postoperative period. During the preparation of the radial artery, normal local and systemic temperatures are lost.We investigated the effects ...

Phenoxybenzamine prevents spasm in radial artery conduits for coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2000 Over the past decade, there has been a marked increase in the use of arterial conduits to perform coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).1 The clinical and survival benefits of bilateral internal thoracic artery grafts have established them as conduits of first choice for CABG,2 whereas the radial artery has rapidly become the third most commonly used ...

Prevention of Radial Artery Spasm: Importance of a Multifactorial Approach
JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2013 We read with interest the report by Deftereos el al. [(1)][1] on significant reductions in the incidence of radial artery spasm, access site crossover, and procedure-related patient discomfort induced by the routine administration of low doses of an opioid-benzodiazepine combination ...
