Popis: Purpose To review safety and feasibility in a single center using transradial access (TRA) for noncoronary interventions. Materials and Methods Retrospective analysis was performed of 946 patients evaluated for 1,531 consecutive TRA procedures from April 2012 to July 2015. Exclusion criteria included sheath > 6 F, Barbeau D waveform, radial artery (RA) diameter Results Technical success was 98.2% (1,485/1,512). Major complications (0.13%) included pseudoaneurysm (n = 1) and seizure (n = 1). Minor complications (2.38%) included hematoma/bleeding (n = 13), RA occlusion (n = 11), arm pain (n = 6), and RA spasm (n = 6). Univariate analysis demonstrated a lower rate of adverse events in African American patients (hazard ratio [HR], 0.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.07–0.86; P = .027). Twenty-seven cases (1.8%) required crossover to transfemoral access (TFA). Crossover rates were higher in female patients ( P = .0055), height P = .024), renal/visceral interventions ( P = .0003), and endoleak interventions ( P = .0357). Multivariate analysis demonstrated intervention type to be the only significant predictor of TFA crossover (renal/visceral [HR, 4.48; 95% CI, 1.84–10.9; P = .001]; endoleak repair [HR, 9.54; 95% CI, 1.09–83.8; P = .042]). Conclusions TRA was safe and well tolerated in a heterogeneous patient population across a range of peripheral vascular interventions.
