Randomized Trial of Compression Duration After Transradial Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention.

ABSTRACT: Radial artery occlusion is a known complication following transradial cardiac catheterization. A shorter duration of postprocedural radial clamp time may reduce radial artery occlusion (RAO) but might be associated with incomplete hemostasis.In total, 568 patients undergoing transradial diagnostic cardiac catheterization were randomly assigned to either 20 minutes (ultrashort) or 60 minutes (short) hemostatic compression time using patent hemostasis. Subsequently, clamp pressure was reduced gradually over 20 minutes. Access site hemostasis and RAO were assessed after clamp removal. Repeated assessment of RAO was determined at 1 week in 210 (37%) patients. Mean age was 64±11 years, and 30% were female. Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in 161 patients. RAO immediately after clamp removal was documented in 14 (4.9%) and 8 (2.8%) patients in the 20- and 60-minute clamp application groups, respectively (P=0.19). The incidence of grade 1 hematoma was higher in the 20-minute group (6.7% versus 2.5%, P=0.015). RAO at 1 week after the procedure was 2.9% and 0.9% in the 20- and 60-minute groups, respectively (P=0.36). Requirement for clamp retightening (36% versus 16%, P=0.01) was higher among patients who had RAO. Need for clamp retightening was the only independent predictor of RAO (P=0.04).Ultrashort radial clamp application of 20 minutes is not preferable to a short duration of 60 minutes. The 60-minute clamp duration is safe and provides good access site hemostasis with low RAO rates.URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02269722.

Project description:BackgroundTransradial catheterization is associated with radial artery injury and vasomotor dysfunction and represents an accessible model of acute vascular injury in humans. We characterized vascular injury and functional recovery to understand the role of circulating endothelial progenitor cells in vascular repair.Methods and resultsIn 50 patients (aged 64±10 years, 70% male) undergoing transradial cardiac catheterization, radial artery injury was assessed by optical coherence tomography and examination of explanted vascular sheaths. Flow- and nitrate-mediated dilatation of the radial artery was assessed in both arms at baseline, at 24 hours, and at 1, 4, and 12 weeks. Circulating endothelial progenitor cell populations were quantified using flow cytometry. Late endothelial outgrowth colonies were isolated and examined in vitro. Optical coherence tomography identified macroscopic injury in 12 of 50 patients (24%), but endothelial cells (1.9±1.2×104 cells) were isolated from all arterial sheaths examined. Compared with the noncatheterized radial artery, flow-mediated vasodilatation was impaired in the catheterized artery at 24 hours (9.9±4.6% versus 4.1±3.1%, P<0.0001) and recovered by 12 weeks (8.1±4.9% versus 10.1±4.9%, P=0.09). Although the number of CD133+ cells increased 24 hours after catheterization (P=0.02), the numbers of CD34+ cells and endothelial outgrowth colonies were unchanged. Migration of endothelial cells derived from endothelial outgrowth colonies correlated with arterial function before catheterization but was not related to recovery of function following injury.ConclusionsTransradial cardiac catheterization causes endothelial denudation, vascular injury, and vasomotor dysfunction that recover over 12 weeks. Recovery of vascular function does not appear to be dependent on the mobilization or function of endothelial progenitor cells.Clinical trial registrationURL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
