The authors report the results of percutaneous coronary angioplasty using the radial approach with respect to feasibility and safety. Between February 1994 and December 1998, out of a total of 9,070 coronary angioplasties performed in our Institute, the radial arterial approach was chosen in 5,354 cases (59%). During this period, the proportion of procedures performed via the radial artery progressively increased to 78% of cases in 1998. Cannulation of the radial artery was successful in 5,244 cases (98%). Rotatory atherectomy was used in 96 cases (2%), the excimer laser in 38 cases (1%) and stenting was performed in 3,350 cases (64%). Angiographic success was obtained in 5,224 patients (99%). Serious cardiac complications occurred in 82 patients (1.5%), including 17 deaths (0.3%), 22 Q wave myocardial infarctions (0.4%), 28 non-Q wave infarcts (0.5%), 5 coronary bypass procedures (0.1%) and 10 sub-acute occlusions (0.2%). The vascular complications included 1 death due to an ischaemic cerebrovascular accident, 25 haematomas at the puncture site (0.5%) and 3 surgical arterial repairs. The radial pulse disappeared after the procedure in 4% of cases, all asymptomatic. Angioplasty by the radial artery in the hands of trained operators is feasible and associated with a relatively low rate of cardiac and vascular complications.
