Evaluation of Feasibility of Radial Access for Primary Angioplasty and to Assess it in High Risk Subgroups

Completed
Conditions
Primary Angioplasty
Registration Number
NCT03488407
Lead Sponsor
Jubilee Mission Medical College and Research Institute
Brief Summary

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is the preferred treatment for patients with ST-segment acute coronary syndrome. The radial access is an established approach, associated with a reduction in vascular access related complications after primary percutaneous coronary interventions. The purpose of this study is to examine the baseline characteristics, risk factors, procedural parameters and complications in patients with STEMI taken for primary angioplasty by radial access.

Data of all patients with acute STEMI with primary PCI through radial access is to be evaluated for baseline characteristics and procedural parameters and complications. Patients in the prospective study are followed up till discharge and any in-hospital complication noted.

This was a prospective, observational and descriptive study. Three hundred fifteen consecutive patients with an ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary angioplasty by radial access, admitted between March 2016 and Feb 2017 were analyzed for their baseline characteristics, risk factors, and procedural parameters, complications and outcomes. High risk sub-groups analysis was also done. High risk groups includes patients with age \>75yrs, cardiogenic shock, severe LV systolic dysfunction, acute left ventricular failure, high degree AV block, right ventricular infarction and low BMI. The study is conducted among patients with acute STEMI, considered for primary PCI through radial artery access at operator discretion.

This study analyzed the baseline characteristics of patients which includes clinical history, clinical examination, ECG, 2D ECHO, coronary angiogram to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors.
