Segurança e eficácia da cateterização cardíaca direita e esquerda pelo acesso transradial comparado ao transfemoral: experiência inicial

Abstract: Background: Right and left heart catheterization (RLC) is a limitation on the use of the transradial technique (TRT). However, recent studies have shown that the procedure can be safely performed with the use of a forearm venous access. In this study, it was evaluated the use of this new approach compared with the transfemoral technique (TFT).

“…The use of radial access is recognized as a safe way of performing cardiac diagnostic catheterization and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), and in the literature, different compression methods for hemostasis have been described (1,(3)(4) . The present study examined the incidence of hemorrhagic complications in patients undergoing radial cardiac catheterization with use of a hemostatic device for radial compression during a 4-hour period.…”

“…The radial pathway has been widely used in percutaneous cardiovascular procedures, since it allows performing complex interventions with reduction of intensity and duration of hemostasis after arterial pressure, and is associated with lower rates of vascular complications and major bleedings with potential impact on morbidity and mortality (1)(2)(3)(4) . Another important factor of this approach is the preferential choice by patients, because it provides greater comfort in recovery after the intervention by enabling early ambulation and shorter hospitalization time (5)(6) .…”

“…Although right heart catheterisation is considered a low-risk procedure with low incidence of adverse events, local vascular complications are responsible for the majority of those events and there are established site-specific risks 2. Further, previous small studies demonstrated reduced incidence of vascular complications, early ambulation and greater comfort to patients with the antecubital venous approach for right heart catheterisation 6–13…”

“…Notably, our protocol, as well as Harwani et al ’s,8 which similarly to ours used ultrasound guidance to obtain antecubital venous access, provides information on the adoption of antecubital venous approach as the preferred route for right heart catheterisations. The previous series of right heart catheterisations from the ‘forearm approach’ included either individuals with palpable/visible antecubital veins or individuals in which forearm venous access had been obtained before the procedure 6 7 9–14. Indeed, in the only study that clearly reported the overall success rate of the antecubital approach, a 15% access crossover rate was observed 6.…”
