Vascular dysfunction and its recovery after transradial coronary angioplasty- A serial observational study
Objective: To serially evaluate the effect of trans-radial coronary angioplasty (TRA) on the vascular function of radial artery (RA) and upstream brachial artery (BA) and to find out the relative contribution of endothelial dependent flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) and endothelial independent nit...

| Sumario: | Objective: To serially evaluate the effect of trans-radial coronary angioplasty (TRA) on the vascular function of radial artery (RA) and upstream brachial artery (BA) and to find out the relative contribution of endothelial dependent flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) and endothelial independent nitrate mediated dilatation (NMD). Methods: Forty patients of chronic stable angina with successful TRA were studied. FMD and NMD of bilateral RA and BA were measured with high-resolution ultrasound, before and at 24 h and at 3 months, after catheterization. Results: FMD as well as NMD were significantly decreased in right RA (16.3 ± 3.6% to 5.7 ± 1.8%; p = 0.001, and 24.1 ± 5.3% to 9.7 ± 2.8%; p = 0.001, respectively) as well as in upstream BA (17.0 ± 1.6% to 9.4 ± 0.5%; p = 0.001,and 26.5 ± 6.8% to 20.5 ± 3.7%; p = 0.001, respectively) at 24 h. FMD/NMD ratio was also decreased in RA (70 ± 10% to 60 ± 10%; p = 0.04) and as well as in BA (70 ± 20% to 50 ± 10%; p = 0.03). The endothelial dysfunctions returned to normal at 3 months. Control arm did not show any change in vascular function at any point of time. Radial artery diameter/sheath ratio <1 and catheter exchanges >2 were the independent predictors for >50% decrease in FMD. Conclusions: TRA results in reversible depression in FMD as well as NMD in the radial artery as well as upstream brachial artery. These vascular dysfunctions are limited to the catheterized arm only and return to normal after 3 months. |
