Radial and distal radial artery access for PCI

Moderators: C. T. Chin, B. Faurie

Summary

This session provides an in-depth evaluation of radial and distal radial artery access for PCI, including a 20-year trend analysis of clinical outcomes, feasibility studies on distal radial interventions, and comparative real-world experiences. It also features meta-analyses of randomized trials on access approaches and early findings from the RETRY trial on radial artery recanalisation, informing best practices in vascular access.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Feasibility of distal radial artery interventions and impact of artery diameter on puncture failure
  • From Snuffbox to coronary: distal vs. conventional radial access for PCI: real-world experience
  • Crossover patterns in distal vs conventional radial access: meta-analysis of RCTs
  • RETRY trial: Recanalisation of radial artery occlusion via distal radial access, early experience
