Radiation Exposure Aspects during Trans-Radial Angiography and Angioplasty

خلاصه انگلیسی

Ever since the Trans-Radial Approach (TRA) was invented for angiography and angioplasty, there has been concern about whether this technique increases the patient's and operator's radiation exposure compared to the Trans-Femoral Approach (TFA). The importance of this matter is so incredible that it may influence the physician in choosing the approach. This means that despite the clinical advantages of the TRA, including reduction of mortality in patients undergoing primary angioplasty, high safety, reduction of hospitalization time, faster recovery and cost-effectiveness, and less access to site-related bleeding compared to the TFA, the clinician prefers the TFA over the TRA due to the concern about the amount of radiation more than that of the TRA. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the radiation aspects of TRA.
