The learning curve for transradial percutaneous coronary intervention among operators in the United States: a study from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry.
BACKGROUND Adoption of transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (TRI) in the United States is low and may be related to challenges learning the technique. We examined the relationships between operator TRI volume and procedural metrics and outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS We used CathPCI Registry data from July 2009 to December 2012 to identify new radial operators, defined by an exclusive...
متن کاملCharacterization of operator learning curve for transradial coronary interventions.
BACKGROUND Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (TR-PCI) improves clinical outcomes compared to the transfemoral (TF) approach. However, inadequate training and experience has limited widespread adoption by interventional cardiologists. METHODS AND RESULTS Clinical and procedural characteristics for TR-PCI were prospectively collected from 1999 to 2008. To identify minimum case volu...
متن کاملTransradial Versus Transfemoral Access in Patients Undergoing Rescue Percutaneous Coronary Intervention After Fibrinolytic Therapy.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess usage patterns of transradial access in rescue percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and associations between vascular access site choice and outcomes. BACKGROUND Transradial access reduces bleeding and mortality in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI. Little is known about access si...
متن کاملTransradial catheterization can lead to safer , less costly , and more satisfactory coronary angiography and interventions
I mproving safety and reducing cost are the two biggest focuses in health care. In the cath lab, the transradial approach lends itself to achieving both of these objectives by reducing complications related to coronary angiography and intervention, while at the same time reducing hospital stay and increasing throughput. The nuances of performing coronary angiography and interventions through ra...
متن کاملAdoption of radial access and comparison of outcomes to femoral access in percutaneous coronary intervention: an updated report from the national cardiovascular data registry (2007-2012).
BACKGROUND Radial access for percutaneous coronary intervention (r-PCI) is associated with reduced vascular complications; however, previous reports have shown that <2% of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures in the United States are performed via the radial approach. Our aims were to evaluate temporal trends in r-PCI and compare procedural outcomes between r-PCI and transfemoral...
