| Description: |
Background The distal radial artery access has been proposed as an alternative route to overcome some limitations of conventional radial access, of which radial artery occlusion is one of the most frequent complications. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the impact of distal versus proximal radial artery occlusion on hand perfusion by simulating both conditions and comparing their effects. Methods A prospective, observational study was conducted on 50 healthy volunteers. Laser Doppler perfusion imaging with PeriScan PIM III device (Perimed AB, Järfälla, Sweden) was employed to quantify palmar perfusion under three conditions: baseline, simultaneous occlusion of the distal radial and ulnar arteries, and simultaneous occlusion of the proximal radial and ulnar arteries. The hand perfusion was quantified in terms of perfusion units (PU). Results Simultaneous proximal radial and ulnar occlusion reduced perfusion by ~90% (58.18 ± 23.18 PU vs. 5.91 ± 4.48 PU, p |
