Brief Summary: Pecutaneous coronary intervention PCI of chronic total occlusions CTOs is most commonly performed using bilateral transfemoral access and 8 French guiding catheters However transfemoral approach TFA is associated with higher risk of vascular access complications5 It has been reported that using transradial approach TRA reduces vascular complications and may be associated with a better clinical outcome Transradial access is also used in complex PCI interventionsThere is a growing body of evidence regarding the use of this approach also in CTO procedures In available literature all studies comparing TRA vs TFA in CTO consisted of single center and single operator experience Besides none of them is randomized To fill in the gap we sought to examine the technique and outcomes of transradial vs transfemoral CTO PCI in a contemporary multicenter randomized study
Detailed Description: All consecutive patients referred for CTO PCI between August 2017 and July 2021 at Acibadem University Kocaeli Acibadem Hospital Kocaeli Erciyes University Medical Faculty Kayseri Istanbul University Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty Haseki Cardiology Institute Istanbul Memorial Bahcelievler Hospital Istanbul were screened for enrollment in the study The exclusion criteria included a any acute coronary syndrome within 3 months b severe heart failure issues csevere renal failure d failure to provide written informed consentThe radial access group consisted of patients with single or bi-radial approach Any femoral artery puncture was considered a femoral case For example a crossover from any radial to femoral access was considered a femoral case Procedures were performed by 4 interventional cardiologists who are dedicated radial operators at 4 different centers The protocol was approved by the institutional review board and all patients provided written informed consent
