Article Abstract
The present study investigated the relationship between pre-procedural radial intima-media thickness (rIMT) and radial artery thrombosis (RAO) in patients undergoing angiography using a transradial approach (TRA). Patients (n = 90) who underwent cerebral or peripheral arterial angiography using TRA were included in the study. Ultrasonographic evaluation was performed before and 12 h after the procedure. Preoperative rIMT measurement was performed at the distal radial artery. Presence of radial artery occlusion was evaluated by ultrasonography after radial catheterization and revealed occlusive thrombus in the radial artery in 13 patients. rIMT was found to be statistically significantly higher in patients with thrombus ( < .05). When it was evaluated whether there was a correlation between age and rIMT, a positive significant correlation was found ( < .01). Our study suggests that increase of rIMT may be a risk factor for RAO in the intervention area. Before the procedure, ultrasound (US) assessment of the radial artery may be useful in determining the risk of occlusion. Thus, RAO-related technical risk factors (procedure time, number of punctures, sheath thickness, etc.) can be managed more carefully in patients having radial angiography.

Evaluation of Subcutaneous Puncture Site Cocktails for Distal Transradial Cerebral Angiography in Improving Puncture Success and Cannulation-Induced Vasospasm: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Objective: The distal transradial approach has been one of the options for endovascular neurointervention because of the low risk of puncture site complications. However, the conventional and distal transradial artery approaches frequently cause cannulation-induced vasospasms, which can usually be prevented by vasodilators. The aim was to evaluate the effects of local infiltration using a puncture site cocktail of lidocaine mixed with nitroglycerin on puncture success and vasospasm for distal transradial cerebral angiography.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that hemorrhoids are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the causal associations between hemorrhoids and CVD remain elusive. This study aimed to investigate potential causal links between hemorrhoids and various heart conditions, including arrhythmia, heart failure, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, and coronary artery disease.

Some patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have demonstrated evidence of exercise-induced arterial hypoxaemia (EIAH). However, EIAH was not quantified using , , and measurements as previously conducted in healthy adults nor was EIAH quantified alongside simultaneous measurements of pulmonary vascular pressures, cardiorespiratory responses, or dyspnoea on exertion (DOE) in these patients. Given the effects of hypoxaemia on pulmonary vasoconstriction, cardiorespiratory responses, and DOE, we tested the hypothesis that patients with HFpEF and EIAH (EIAH) would demonstrate higher pulmonary vascular pressures, worse oxygen uptake, and greater DOE compared with patients without EIAH (EIAH).

Background: Radial artery avulsion (RAV) is a rare but potentially serious complication of transradial angiographic procedures.
Case Summary: We describe a 70-year-old man who presented with atypical chest discomfort and who underwent cardiac catheterization from the right radial artery. The patient had radial artery spasm, and a piece of tissue approximately 6 cm in length was pulled out of the sheath.
