ABSTRACT

 

Objective: To examine the prevalence of complications related with transradial approach in patients undergoing

elective percutaneous coronary interventions.

Study Design: Cross-sectional/observational

 

Place and Duration of study: This study was conducted at the Department of Cardiology, Bolan Medical Complex Hospital Quetta from January 2019 to December 2019.

Results: There were 82 (74.55%) males while remaining 28 (25.45%) were females with mean age 57.85±8.54 years. Mean BMI was 27.12±3.45. Hypertension was the most common morbidity found in 50% patients followed by diabetes mellitus and smoking. Minor bleeding was the commonest complication found in 25 (22.73%) patients followed by radial artery occlusion, excessive bleeding, radial nerve injury and hematoma in 7 (6.36%), 6 (5.45%), 4 (3.64%) and 2 (1.82%) patients respectively.

Conclusion: Transradial approach for coronary interventions is safe and effective with fewer rates of complications.
