Abstract

Background: Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is one of the most common consequences of transradial artery access (TRA) in invasive cardiovascular procedures; therefore, alternative approaches, such as distal radial artery access (DRA), emerged. This study compares proximal and distal radial access for long-term RAO. Objectives: This study compares long-term RAO incidence with proximal and distal radial access following invasive cardiovascular procedures. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. The subjects comprised patients with heart disease who underwent invasive cardiovascular procedures using radial access at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung between July 2017 and December 2020. The patients were categorized into two groups based on their access type: proximal and distal. The incidence of long-term RAO was evaluated through Doppler ultrasound at least one-year post-TRA. Results: The study included 107 patients (proximal = 72 patients; distal = 35 patients). The mean age was 58.2 ± 8.26 years, with a predominance of male patients (79.4%) and smokers (65.4%). The majority of procedures were interventional (58.2%). Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups, except for selecting the access side, which was more prevalent on the left side in the distal group. Long-term RAO occurred in 8 patients (7.48%), with 7 cases (9.72%) in the proximal group and 1 case (2.86%) in the distal group (p=0.269). Conclusion: The study findings reveal no significant difference in the incidence of long-term RAO between proximal and distal radial access in invasive cardiovascular procedures.

Abstract

Objective: To describe patients with corrected Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) who experienced Infective Endocarditis (IE).Methods: Two cases of IE were observed in 2019. The first case involved a 36-year-old woman with previous percutaneous transcatheter perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure four months before admission. Echocardiography showed vegetation at noncoronary cusps of the aortic valve. Patient received antibiotics for six weeks and underwent surgery for evacuation of vegetation and device, along with VSD closure with a cardiovascular patch (Gore-tex). The second case involved a 43-year-old woman with a history of surgical closure in secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) by pericardial patch two months before admission. Echocardiography showed vegetation at the tricuspid valve. Patient received antibiotics for four weeks and planned for surgery to evacuate vegetation.  Results: IE is one of the major complications in CHD, whether uncorrected, treated, or corrected. The risk of IE increased with an invasive procedure. Post closure IE is rare. Poor dental hygiene and immunocompromised also increased patient's risk to be exposed to IE as shown in the first patient who had dental caries and the second patient who was on methylprednisolone for post-surgical pericardial effusion treatment. Conclusion: The risk of IE increases with invasive procedures in CHD patients. Although the incidence of IE is quite rare, its possibility should become of a serious concern among physicians.
