Dr Manisha, Dr Zara Wani

Abstract :

 Aim : To determine the success rate of left radial artery approach for coronary intervention.

Material and Methods: The study was conducted on a total of 41 patients, out of these 41 patients, 25(61%) had undergone diagnostic coronary angiography using left radial artery approach and 16(39%) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Left radial artery route was selected after Positive Allen Test. Injection Verapamil 5mg was given through side connection of radial artery sheath to prevent spasm.

Results: No conversion to femoral artery route was done, establishing 100% success rate, without any bleeding or haematoma.

Conclusion: Left radial artery approach for coronary angiography and percutaneous intervention is convenient and safe for the patient and almost free from major access site complication.
