简介
Objective
Left radial access (LRA) and right radial access (RRA) have been shown to be safe and effective for coronary arteries catheterisation. However, the differences between the two approaches in terms of radiation exposure are still unclear. The aim of the present investigation is to evaluate in a randomised study, the dose of radiation absorbed by operators using either LRA or RRA.
Design
Randomised, prospective, double arm, single centre study.
Setting
University Hospital.
Patients
Male or female subjects with stable, unstable angina and silent ischaemia.
Interventions
The present study is a comparison of LRA and RRA for coronary artery catheterisation in terms of operators’ radiation exposure.
Main outcome measures
The primary outcome measure was the radiation dose absorbed by operators; secondary outcome measures were fluoroscopy time, dose-area product and contrast delivered.
