5 Humble Beginnings of TRI Ferdinand Kiemeneij, Amsterdam Early 1990s 5

6 Palmaz-Schatz from the Wrist: 1993 Kiemeneij CCD 1993; 30: 173 6

7 ACCESS: Earliest RCT Radial V. Femoral There were no differences in MACE but reduced access site complications in this low risk population 2.5 Access Complications % 2.0% % Brachial Femoral Radial Kiemeneij et al JACC 1997;29:1269 7

8 Impact of TRI on Outcomes My favorite Jennifer Tremmel s Quote It s not that easy.. but it s not that hard Lack of training, education systems, additional CPT reimbursement, and time commitment required by operators is the major barrier to expanded use of transradial intervention but we need clinical trial data for: FDA Society Guidelines CMS endorsements 8

10 Use of Radial Access Varies by Country 10

11 Radial Artery Access is Expanding in US Feldman Circulation

12 No Randomized Data Needed Femoral Access Not Possible Obese Patients Anticoagulated Patients 12

13 No Randomized Data Needed Hildick-Smith CCI 2004; 61:

14 Therapy with vitamin K antagonists was maintained in all patients No bleeding complication except one patient had epistaxis at 8 days Provides evidence for safety of this approach in patients on warfarin therapy 14

21 Radial Artery Access: Equipment 21

22 The Stick Radial Artery Access: Equipment cc SC lidocaine small bleb w/ 20G needle - too much local anesthetic can obliterate pulse). User-friendly transradial sheath kits (21-G single-entry Seldinger technique /sleeve or sheath). Recommended: Access 1-2 cm proximal flexor crease Exact location of stick much less important than for transfemoral approach. Enter at degree from horizontal (more shallow than femoral) 22

24 Radial Artery Access: Trouble Shooting Difficulty Advancing Sheath Don t Push Radial artery angiogram is extremely useful to understand radial loop/dissection/ perforation Downsizing the sheath to 4 French sheath due to a small radial artery diameterl Shoulder Tortuosity Lubricious 0.35 guide wire Magic Torque of Wholey wire Hydrophilic Tactile feedback + fluoroscopy Avoid engaging carotids/vertebrals 300 cm exchange-length wire after access Tall pts > 6 4 or sleeve > 36 longer catheter 24

33 LBCT TCT 2013 Tuesday Oct 29, 2013 A Registry-Based Randomized Trial Comparing Radial and Femoral Approaches In Women Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: The Study of Access site For Enhancement of PCI for Women (SAFE-PCI for Women) Trial Sunil V.

Krucoff MD on behalf of the SAFE-PCI for Women Investigators

34 Trial conduct After 1120 women had been randomized, routine review of trial endpoints by DSMB Primary efficacy event rate markedly lower than expected Trial unlikely to show a difference at the planned sample size Recommended termination of the trial No harm noted in either the radial or femoral groups Steering committee voted to continue study until enrollment in a quality-of-life substudy was complete (N=300)

35 Results Primary efficacy and feasibility endpoints Total randomized cohort Radial (N=893) Femoral (N=894) OR (95% CI) P BARC 2, 3, 5 bleeding or Vasc Complications Access site crossover 0.6% 1.7% 0.3 ( ) % 1.9% 3.7 ( ) <0.001 Interaction term for primary efficacy endpoint not significant for PCI vs. no PCI Most common reason for needing to convert from radial to femoral access to complete the procedure was radial artery spasm (43.6% of crossovers) Only one patient did not have the procedure successfully completed was randomized to femoral

36 Results Secondary endpoints PCI cohort Radial (N=290) Femoral (N=291) P Procedure duration (min) 51.6 ± ± Total radiation dose (mgy) 1604 ± ± Total contrast volume (ml) ± ± day death, vascular complications, or unplanned revasc Patient prefers assigned access site for next procedure 5.2% 3.4% % 23.5%
