Article Synopsis
- Radial artery access is often preferred in coronary interventions, but spasms can occur, causing pain and complications during the procedure.
- In a study of 103 patients, the incidence of radial artery spasm was found to be 24.3%, with factors like female sex and failed puncture attempts increasing the risk, while hydrophilic sheaths seemed to prevent spasms.
- Signs of arterial spasm were frequently observed in angiographies but did not always result in significant symptoms; tight narrowing at the sheath tip was a notable predictor of symptomatic spasm.
