Abstract
Objective To evaluate the safety and success rates of transradial coronary intervention and to compare the advantages and disadvantages of coronary interventional procedures between the transradial and transfemoral approach in order to provide physician and patients a reasonable choice. Methods A total of 160 patients undergoing coronary interventional procedures were randomly divided into observer group (transradial group with 80 cases) and the control group ( transfemoral group with 80 cases). The success rate of catheterization, local pain during and after operation, complications, comfort after operation and hospitalization duration were compared between two groups. Results The success rate of catheterization was not different statistically between two approaches (P> 0.05 ). In transradial group, the complications, pains after operation and hospitalization time were better than in transfemoral group. Conclusions The transradial approach coronary intervention is safe, effective, with less pain after operation, with less influence on patients' comfort and no requirement of rest on the bed. Key words: Radial artery; Femoral artery; Percutaneous coronary intervention
