Fewer vascular complications
Greater patient satisfaction
Immediate ambulation
Procedure cost savings
Long term cost savings?
Less pain and anesthesia?

Advanced
cases:

 Room Set up
 Issues around hemodynamics

Approach to advanced cases:
▣Assess anatomy carefully
□Origins of vessels
□Tortuosity
□Distance to target

▣Inventory
□Longer delivery systems
□120cm minimum
□Wire lengths
□Monorail vs OTW

Access:

Decide on sheath size prior to puncture

Assess size of the RA
Decide whether the vessel can accommodate sheath
Guide catheter vs Sheathless guidecath

RA size and sheath compatibility
RA size 10mm proximal to styloid (n=250)
3.1 ± 0.6 mm in men

2.8 ± 0.6 mm in women11
Ext diameter 6-F sheath is 2.52 mm
86% men and 63% of woman suitable for 6Fr sheath
Sheathless guide - outer diameter 1.5 F smaller than
the analogous sheath capable of accommodating a

guide catheter of the same caliber.

Why Radial access?

Why radial access for visceral interventions?
Patient’s perspective
 Immediate ambulation
 Greater patient satisfaction
 Shorten length of stay
 Fewer access site complications (bleeding)
 Mobility is allowed: nausea/vomiting

chronic back pain
access to the restroom

Why radial access?

Why radial access for visceral interventions?
Technical perspective
 “Pressure Hemostasis” concept
 Borderline coagulopathy in liver disease

> INR, < platelets
 Favorable anatomy for
catheterization from above

4/13/2016

Why radial access for visceral interventions?
Work-flow/business perspective


Supplies cost savings (no closure device)



Quicker turn-over of recovery beds



Optimization of the recovery area space

Case

Radial sheath removal:

Inject 15 cc of air in the TB
band. Keep connection tight

Patent Hemostasis concept

Remove the sheath slowly

Patent hemostasis

Have extra 5 cc of air ready
to be injected while sheath
is removed

Inadequate O2 wave?
Deflate 0.5-1cc at the time
Check O2 pulse

MUSC - Nursing Protocols
5-Fr : patient is discharged in 2h
Observation for 1 h
Within the 2nd hour: deflation of 3-4 cc every 15’
Full deflation should be completed in 1 h
Observation, reinflate as needed
Alternative: deflation within the 1 h.
