A Randomized Comparison of the Transradial and Transfemoral Approaches for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Angiography and Intervention

Abstract: In patients who had previously undergone CABG surgery, transradial diagnostic coronary angiography was associated with greater contrast use, longer procedure time, and greater access crossover and operator radiation exposure compared with transfemoral angiography. (RADIAL Versus Femoral Access for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Angiography and Intervention [RADIAL-CABG] Trial; NCT01446263).

“…Previous studies have shown radial access to be associated with many benefits, such as reductions in bleeding rates and major vascular complications 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43. It is also the patient‐preferred arterial access site44, 45 and associated with lower cost 34, 36.…”

“…Among these, contrast volume is a well-established, dose-dependent, and potentially modifiable risk factor for CIN[22]. Although there have been reports of greater contrast use with TRA and concerns about possible subsequent CIN from this more extensive dye load[2,7,24], our meta-analysis shows that the volume of contrast used is not higher among patients undergoing PCI with TRA compared to TFA.…”

“…However, data for the mean contrast used was available for only 13 RCTs, which used 3165 patients, and these were used for final analysis[4,5,7,11,13-20]. Figure 1 shows the search flow diagram.…”

“…14 There are also concerns that greater use of TRI and the reduced risk of access site bleeding may lead to more liberal use of antithrombotic agents with a subsequent rise in nonaccess site bleeding. 15 Moreover, as sites perform an increasing proportion of their cases via radial access, fluoroscopy times may be longer, 12,16 contrast use may be greater, 17 and there may be unintended negative consequences on femoral access management and complication rates, 18 raising concerns about safety tradeoffs with greater TRI use.…”
