The Role of Ultrasound in Accessing the Distal Radial Artery at the Anatomical Snuffbox for Cardiovascular Interventions

Alexandru Achim et al.

Summary: In an effort to improve transcatheter vascular interventions, radial artery access has moved more distally at the anatomical snuffbox. Ultrasound guidance during puncture may encourage more operators to switch to this approach, as the artery in this location is smaller, more angulated, and more difficult to palpate.

Single and double developing lines improve ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization in obese patients: A randomized controlled trial

Qi Zou et al.

Summary: This study found that ultrasound guidance with single or double developing lines improved the first-attempt success rate of radial artery catheterization in obese patients and reduced the procedure time and overall complication rate.

Distal radial artery as an alternative approach to forearm radial artery for perioperative blood pressure monitoring: a randomized, controlled, noninferiority trial

Jingwei Xiong et al.

Summary: This study suggests that the novel distal radial artery (dRA) can be a rational alternative approach to the classic forearm radial artery (RA) for perioperative arterial pressure monitoring, providing a noninferior first attempt success rate. However, there are some anatomical and operational differences between dRA and RA that need to be considered.

Radial Artery Calcification in Predicting Coronary Calcification and Atherosclerosis Burden

Alexandru Achim et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of radial artery calcification (RC) for coronary artery disease. The results showed a significant correlation between radial calcification and coronary calcification, and RC can predict the extent and severity of coronary artery disease.

Prevalence and predictors of difficult vascular anatomy in forearm artery access for coronary angiography and PCI

Tobias Roeschl et al.

Summary: Transradial access is the preferred method for cardiac catheterization, but difficult vascular anatomy (DVA) can lead to procedural failure. In a retrospective analysis of consecutive cardiac catheterizations, age and the choice of arterial access were identified as predictors of DVA occurrence.

Median nerve block increases the success rate of radial artery cannulation in women with gestational hypertension undergoing cesarean section

Xin Men et al.

Summary: Ultrasound-guided median nerve block can improve the success rate of radial artery cannulation, reduce procedure time and number of attempts, and have no significant complications.

Evaluation of the factors related to difficult ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization in small children: A prospective observational study

Eun Jung Oh et al.

Summary: A cross-sectional area of <= 1 mm(2) and the presence of an anomalous branch of radial artery significantly increased the difficulty of ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization in children under two years old. Pre-procedural ultrasound scanning to find an optimal site for catheterization may increase the first-attempt success rate although further studies are needed to verify the results.

Workflow of Ultrasound-Guided Arterial Access

Huma Fatima et al.

Summary: The use of real-time ultrasound guidance in arterial line cannulations has been shown to improve success rates, reduce the number of attempts, enhance time efficiency, and decrease the likelihood of complications such as arterial spasms or hematoma formation.

Emmanuel Boselli et al.

Summary: The PERSEUS-RA guideline aims to establish the standard for ultrasound guidance in regional anaesthesia and emphasizes its advantages in certain nerve blocks. While US-guided nerve blocks are well-tolerated and effective in some cases, limitations in data hinder useful comparisons in areas such as truncal blocks.
