Abstrakt: Background: This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the outcomes of graft angiography using these two approaches. Methods: Medical records and angiographic data of adult patients who underwent graft angiography between January 2020 and December 2022 were analyzed. Results: The study included 452 patients in the distal radial access (DRA) group and 960 patients in the femoral access group. Angiographic characteristics showed a higher prevalence of triple vessel disease in the femoral access group (29.8% vs. 20.8%; p = 0.012). The DRA group had a procedural success rate of 93.0%, while the femoral access group had a higher success rate of 95.8%. The odds ratio was 0.66 (95% CI: 0.46–0.94), indicating lower odds of procedural success in the DRA group. Conclusion: Our study suggests that both DRA and femoral access are effective and safe approaches for graft angiography after coronary artery bypass surgery. Plain Language Summary This study compared graft angiography outcomes using wrist (distal radial) and groin (femoral) access in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery. Analyzing data from January 2020 to December 2022, 452 patients used wrist access, and 960 used groin access, with similar age and heart function across groups. Femoral access had more cases of triple vessel disease (29.8% vs. 20.8%) and a higher success rate (95.8% vs. 93.0%), with wrist access showing lower odds of procedural success. Despite this, both methods proved to be effective and safe. Article highlights A total of 452 patients underwent graft angiography via distal radial (wrist) access and 960 via femoral (groin) access. Both groups had similar ages and heart functions. More prevalent in the femoral access group (29.8% vs. 20.8%). Procedural success was higher with femoral access (95.8%) compared with distal radial access (93.0%). Both access methods were found to be effective and safe for postcoronary artery bypass graft angiography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
