Abstract
Objective: Evaluate results of using 7 French guiding catheter with 7 French Glidesheath slender for complex transradial coronary interventions. Materials and method: From October 2020 to September 2021, we conducted the study on 44 patients with complex transradial coronary interventions in whom PCI using 7 French Glidesheath slender was performed at E hospital. Results: Fourty four patients (86,4% males) underwent complex transradial coronary interventions with 7 French Glidesheath slender support (mean age 67,2±9,12 years). Common cardiovascular risk factor was hypertention. The rate of successful placement of the 7F Glidesheath slender was 97.7%. The successful intervention rate for target lesions is 90.9%. Among coronary artery lesions, the highest rates were left main lesions (38.6%) and chronic total occlusion (38.6%). The location of the culprit coronary artery with the highest percentage is the left main and the right coronary artery (39%). No case in the study died, only 1 case had a stroke after the intervention (the patient recovered). There were no major complications associated with the procedure. The rate of complications of radial access is low, including 1 case of radial artery occlusion and 1 case of arteriovenous fistula. There were no cases of complications related to deformation of the slender glidesheath instrument or the interventional catheter. Conclusion: The large-bore interventional catheter can be used with the support of 7Fr Glidesheath Slender for convenient and safe complex transradial coronary interventions.
