| Popis: | Introduction: Transradial cardiac catheterization has equivalent efficacy, reduced vascular complications, and is more comfortable and convenient for patients than transfemoral catheterization. The biradial approach for alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has not been well studied. Since 2013, the biradial approach has become the standard approach for alcohol septal ablation at MUSC. This project tested the hypothesis that the biradial approach is equally efficacious and results in fewer complications than the transfemoral approach in ASA. Methods: In this study 274 consecutive patients were retrospectively analyzed from the MUSC alcohol septal ablation database (137= biradial approach, 137=femoral approach) and the changes in left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOTG), amount of contrast, fluoroscopy time, and complications were recorded. Groups were not significantly different in pre-ASA LVOTG (p=0.88 and 0.06 for resting and provoked LVOTG respectively). Results: The procedures were equally efficacious at reducing LVOTG with a mean reduction of resting LVOTG of 91.24% (SEM=1.21) in biradial access and 92.37% (SEM=1.14) in femoral access (p=0.5), and a mean reduction of provoked LVOTG of 80.31% (SEM=1.90) in biradial access and 82.17% (SEM=1.74) in femoral access (p=.47). The biradial approach was associated with significantly less contrast use than the femoral approach (mean of 98.1 ccs, SEM of 3.60, and 110.89 ccs, SEM of 4.84, respectively; p=.035). There were statistically significant differences in fluoroscopy time and incidence of complications between the procedures (fluoroscopy time mean of 17.42 min. (SEM=0.93) biradial and 13 min. (SEM=0.72) femoral; (p= 0.00028). Incidence of cardiac complications of .13 biradial and .23 femoral; (p= 0.04)). Conclusions: In this largest study to date, the transradial approach is equally efficacious and is associated with significantly lower contrast use, and fewer complications, albeit with increased fluoroscopy time, than the transfemoral approach in ASA. |
