Does Myocardial Bridge Appear More Frequently and Diffusely on Radial Access Coronary Angiography

Izmir Bakircay University255 enrolled

Overview

Although the incidence of myocardial bridge (MB) has been defined in different conventional coronary angiography (CCA) studies,the frequency of MB in radial access coronary angiography (RACA) is unknown.The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of MB in patients undergoing RACA.

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Enrollment

255

Conditions

Myocardial Bridge of Coronary Artery

Interventions

radial access coronary angiographyPROCEDURE

The right radial artery was cannulated with a 6-f radial sheath after local infiltration with 2% lidocaine.All patients received 5000 units of unfractionated heparin, 100 - 200 μg (depending on blood pressure) of nitroglycerin and 5 mg of diltiazem unless there was an absolute contraindication to diltiazem and anticoagulants.Coronary angiography was performed using the standard Judkins' technique via right radial access with a 5-f diagnostic catheter
