1. HOW CAN WE MANAGE RADIAL ARTERY
LATE OCCLUSION: RECANALIZATION OF
OCCLUSION OR PROXIMAL “HIGH”
PUNCTURE OF RADIAL ARTERY
Avtandil M. Babunashvili
Center of Endosurgery, Moscow, Russia
4. Study population
Occlusion of the RA/UA was detected in 72 cases (3.7%)
of the 1972 repeat transradial or transulnar interventions
for
diagnostic
and
interventional
procedures
from
January 2005 to November 2012.
Methods
In case of late RA/UA occlusion if the distal stump was
palpable
pulse,
puncture
and
cannulation
of
the
postocclusion segment, retrograde RA/UA recanalization
and angioplasty was performed using the "Dottertechnique” or plain balloon dilatation or mixed technique.

6. Radial artery late occlusion recanalization
Instruments
Same as used for CTO coronary
or tibial arteries
(Fielder, Miracle series etc)
Wire strategy
● escalation
● penetration
Recanalization technique
● True lumen
● Subintimal
(Bolia technique)
Final lumen formation
● “Dotter” technique
● Balloon angioplasty
● Mixed

27. ► “High” puncture sucessfully performed in 5
patients (3 –control angio, 2 – PCI);
► in one case proximal punction was performed in
RA with high take-off from brachial artery;
► Only one small haematoma (< 5X5cm) was occured
28. CONCLUSIONS
► Recanalization of late radial/ulnar artery occlusion for repeat arterial
access is technically feasible and safe with acceptable success rate;
► There is more benefit than harm in this technique taking in
consideration the difficulties of puncture and catheterization of distal
postocclusion segment;
► Despite the high risk of reocclusion this technique allows to solve the
problem of access in Patients with challenging approach;
► Proximal RA catheterization under US control is feasible and safe in
certain case of retrograde recanalization failure.
