gain, and the centerline guide should be turned on. The radial artery is imaged in the axial plane by holding the probe perpendicular to the course of the artery. The artery pulsates with gentle compression. Align the artery with the centerline guide on the display, and insert the radial needle directly underneath the center marking of the probe, as close to the probe as possible. Using short in-and-out movements in order to visualize the needle course, move the needle toward the artery until it eventually compresses the artery and then punctures through. This may take some practice but can become a time saver, particularly for difficult access cases.
Medications for Radial Artery Catheterization: The Radial “Cocktail”
After inserting the arterial sheath, infuse a radial “cocktail” for arterial spasm prevention through the side arm. Numerous cocktails are used, but they generally include some combination of verapamil and nitro­glycerin (Box 2-1). Diltiazem, papaverine, or nipride may also be used. Verapamil in doses of 2.5 or 5 mg has been given alone or within a cocktail without unwanted side effects, such as hypotension or brady­cardia. Nitroglycerin and nipride must be given cautiously in patients with severe aortic stenosis or any LV outflow obstruction; many opera­tors forgo these drugs altogether. Lidocaine added to the cocktail may improve patient comfort during catheter manipulation. Heparin is always given to prevent radial artery occlusion and is generally dosed at 5000 U or 50 U/kg IV. Heparin may be given intraarterially (IA) within the cocktail, but if doing so, it should be mixed with plenty of blood to reduce burning. Alternatively, heparin can be given via IV to reduce local irritation and pain. Bivalirudin is also an acceptable alternative to heparin and should be standardly dosed in a weigh­based bolus and infusion.
Repeat injections of antispasm medications are not necessary with catheter exchanges or prior to sheath removal unless the patient is developing spasm. If the operator notes the development of spasm (the catheter becomes harder to manipulate and the patient reports pain), another round of spasmolytic cocktail can be given. Spasm occurs more commonly in females and with excessive catheter manip­ulation, multiple catheter exchanges, and less operator experience.
Navigating Up the Arm
Once the sheath is in place, advance the catheter up the arm over a
0.035-inch guidewire.
Generally, a standard J-wire with a very small J curve is sufficient, although operators often use other preferred wires, such as the a short­tipped J-wire, a Wholey (Covidien ev3, Plymouth, MN) or a Bentson (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN). With coated wires, caution must be used, because they can go into small branches (and potentially

perforate) without the tactile feedback one would get from a standard J-wire. To minimize radiation exposure, the wire is typically advanced up the arm without fluoroscopy; however, if any resistance is encoun­tered, use fluoroscopy. Usually, if the J-wire will not advance, a Glide­wire (Terumo Medical Corp., Somerset, NJ) or one of the other coated wires mentioned earlier can be maneuvered up the arm. On rare occa­sions, an angiogram of the arm will be necessary. Once the guidewire has reached the shoulder, fluoroscopy is used to ensure safe passage of the guidewire and catheter into the aortic root. If there is tortuosity or looping in the innominate artery, having the patient take a deep breath can help straighten out the anatomy and ease catheter motion.
For small caliber vessels, tortuosity/loops, or resistance due to spasm/atherosclerosis, a technique called balloon- assisted tracking (BAT) can be helpful. This involves dilating a coronary balloon at the distal end of the catheter (generally, a 15- to 20-mm length balloon is used, with 7 to 10 mm protruding distal to the catheter tip) to create a nontraumatic tip that is more flexible or “pushable.” For more flexibil­ity, the balloon can be dilated to 3 atm, whereas for more “pushability,” it can be dilated to 6 atm. A 1.5-mm diameter balloon can be used in a 5-F catheter/guide, and a 2-mm diameter balloon can be used in a 6-F catheter/guide. Then, advance the catheter/guide up the arm over a 0.014-inch coronary wire.

Sheath Removal and Postprocedure Care
A number of devices have been designed to provide hemostasis from a simple plastic hemodialysis band compressing a gauze bullet over the radial arterial puncture to specifically designed compression bands, such as the Radistop (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN) or TR Band (Terumo Medical Corp., Somerset, NJ). Regardless of the chosen device, there are a few critical steps in this process.
Position the device snuggly around the wrist before sheath removal; the compression portion of the device should be positioned to cover both the skin nick and arteriotomy site (Fig. 2-8). Gauze can be placed under the device as a wick to collect any blood leakage and then pulled once hemostasis is achieved. The sheath should be removed slowly and smoothly while slowly tightening the device. One common mistake is tightening the devise too aggressively before the sheath is removed, leading to patient discomfort. For both patient comfort and adequate hemostasis, the removal of the sheath and the tightening of the device should be done simultaneously. The device should be tight enough to ensure hemostasis but not too tight as to occlude the flow through either the radial or ulnar arteries. This is called patent hemostasis, and it is an essential technique for reducing radial artery occlusion. Once the device is in place and hemostasis is achieved, perform a reverse Barbeau to ensure patent hemostasis. Patent hemostasis of the radial artery will be confirmed by a Barbeau type A, B, or C while the ulnar artery is being compressed. If there is a Barbeau type D, try loosening the device. If the device cannot be loosened any further without blood leakage, send the patient to recov­ery and try again in 15 minutes. Generally, further loosening can be performed after a short period of time to obtain patent hemostasis. Recovery room nurses should be adept at performing the Barbeau test and maintaining patent hemostasis.
Numerous protocols have been used for removal of the hemo­static device. One protocol commonly used is to ensure (or achieve) patent hemostasis upon arrival to the recovery room for 1 hour and then to start loosening the device at 90 minutes. The device is loos­ened further at 105 minutes and then removed at 120 minutes, as long as there is no active bleeding. If there is still bleeding, minimally tighten the device to achieve hemostasis for an additional 15 minutes and then make another attempt at removing the device. Repeat this until successful. If late bleeding occurs (this is rare), give the patient

instructions on using the fingers to compress the puncture site. In addition, instruct the patient to limit lifting any item more than 10 pounds for the next 3 days.
Complications: Radial Artery Spasm
Some spasm during sheath withdrawal is common; it is wise to tell patients that removal of the sheath will likely be associated with dis­comfort. Take the sheath out quickly (but gently); usually the duration of discomfort (if any) is short. Despite all precautions, if radial artery spasm occurs or persists, consider the next suggestions. Do not allow the patient to experience significant pain; analgesics and sedation should be administered. If spasm is severe and the sheath (or catheter) is stuck, the following actions can be undertaken:
1. Administer nifedipine 10 mg orally.
2. Give more analgesia and sedation.
3. Place warm compresses over the forearm to relax the spastic artery.
4. Administer nitroglycerin 200 µg IA; repeat if necessary.
https://t.me/med1917
5. Give verapamil 2.5 mg IA (diltiazem can also be used). This should
be mixed with blood prior to injection via the sidearm of the sheath because direct injection will cause significant discomfort.
If these do not work, wait for an hour and try again. During this time, maintain proper anticoagulation (heparin), sedation, and anal­gesia. If nothing helps, an axillary block, propofol, or general anesthe­sia might be required to relax the radial artery. One should never apply excessive force. This might result in rupture or avulsion of the radial artery.

Bleeding and Vascular Complications
Although vascular complications are rare, early recognition of a problem is vital. In the early stages of a transradial program, an unrec­ognized hematoma can develop even under the watchful eyes of a provider. These can be more subtle than those seen from the femoral approach, and no overt bleeding occurs. Patients complaining of pain or paresthesias (numbness) warrant a close evaluation. Developing hematomas can be averted with gentle manual pressure followed by a careful arm-wrapping technique. While maintaining the wristband in place, wrap the arm loosely with gauze and secondarily with elastic tape or an ACE bandage, providing compression to the forearm. After several minutes, remove the tape and recheck the forearm; it should be softer. If not, rewrap with slightly higher tension. An unnoticed and untreated hematoma can produce a forearm compartment syndrome, threatening the viability of the forearm and hand. Figure 2-9 diagrams a schema for easy recognition and treatment of arm bleeding after radial artery catheterization and PCI.
Dissection or perforation of the radial or brachial artery can occur from wires or catheters. In this situation, the initial reaction is often to abort the procedure, but in fact, if the procedure can be continued safely, it is best to do so. The catheter will serve to tamponade the vessel, and the dissection/perforation will typically resolve by the end of the procedure. This can be confirmed by arteriography at the end of the case.
Postprocedure radial arterial occlusion rates are reported to be <1% to 10%. These are usually asymptomatic but can cause arm sore­ness and discomfort. A vascular ultrasound can be used to evaluate patency and adequacy of ulnar flow. If ulnar flow is adequate, sup­portive treatment with acetaminophen and warm compresses are all that is necessary. With the preventive measures discussed earlier, including use of heparin, a small sheath, and patent hemostasis, radial artery occlusion rates can be minimized. Brachial arterial thrombosis is a rare complication that should be treated by thrombectomy fol­lowed by an evaluation for hypercoagulable state.
Catheterization from the Percutaneous Femoral Artery Approach
Percutaneous femoral arterial catheterization is still the most widely used technique in the United States. In patients with a significant history of claudication, signs of chronic arterial insufficiency, dimin­ished or absent pulses, or bruits over the iliofemoral area, the physi­cian should use an alternate entry site to avoid the risk of further impairment of the arterial circulation in the legs (Box 2-2). The pres­ence of arterial conduit grafts or previous balloon angioplasty of the iliofemoral system is not an absolute contraindication to the percuta­neous femoral technique. Prosthetic graft puncture has been shown

Artery Location
Femoral arterial entry is usually begun using the patient’s right femoral artery with the operator standing at the right side of the patient. The common femoral artery is defined as that portion of the femoral artery below the lowest margin of the inferior epigastric artery and above the bifurcation of the superficial and profunda branches of the femoral artery. The goal is to access the common femoral artery over the mid portion of the femoral head so that there is a hard surface against which to compress the femoral artery when achieving hemostasis (Fig.
2-10). The mid portion of the femoral head is located approximately
2 cm below the inguinal ligament. The inguinal ligament is located by palpating the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubis and drawing an imaginary line between them. Then, using the middle and index fingers placed parallel to the long axis of the femoral artery, find the arterial pulse ~2 cm below this imaginary line (Fig. 2-11). A metal clamp can also be placed over the proposed entry site and the site can be confirmed by fluoroscopy (Fig. 2-12). Some operators put the tip of the clamp at the lower border of the femoral head to indicate where they will numb the patient and then angle their needle such that they access the artery approximately 1 cm above this skin entry location. Use of the skin crease is no longer advocated because of its variability, particularly in obese patients.
Local Anesthesia
With a 25-gauge needle, the skin is infiltrated superficially with 1% lidocaine ~1 cm below (caudal to) the desired arterial entry site. This point is the skin entry site. In obese patients with thick subcutaneous tissue, the entry site should be slightly lower to ensure a needle entry angle of 45 degrees or less. Because large amounts of lidocaine may obscure the pulse, inject small amounts repeatedly instead of admin­istering a large bolus. Next, with a 21-gauge needle, further introduce 1% lidocaine into the deep tissue planes on each side of the artery. During lidocaine infiltration, palpate the arterial pulse with the middle and index fingers to avoid accidental puncture of the artery and ensure infiltration of tissue above and around the artery.

Femoral artery (or vein) puncture with needle entering ~2 cm
Gentle aspiration before the injection of lidocaine is essential to ensure that the needle tip is not in a blood vessel. Inserting the needle first to the deepest level desired and then continuing infiltration at several more shallow layers may decrease the patient’s discomfort. Local anesthesia should cover the whole depth of the expected skin­to-artery path. Give sufficient lidocaine (~15 to 20 mL of a 1% solution) over 2 to 3 minutes for the full anesthetic effect to take place. Hint: Give lidocaine early and while the anesthetic is taking effect, other preparations such as connecting tubing and flushing catheters can be completed. During access, listen to the heart rate monitor or watch the electrocardiogram (ECG) for slowing of the rate as an early warning of a vagal reaction. Alternatives to lidocaine are shown in Box 2-3.
Skin Entry and Access Channel Preparation
Some operators perform a small skin incision before inserting a Seld­inger needle. Other operators prefer to nick the skin over the entry needle or guidewire after the puncture. The latter approach usually results in only one nick if the operator does not obtain access on the first attempt. With the fingers placed over the artery as described previ­ously, the operator makes a skin incision of 2 to 3 mm with a No. 11 scalpel blade, holding the blade perpendicular to the skin and pene­trating 2 to 3 mm into the subcutaneous tissue. For large-diameter sheaths (and for anticipated large-diameter VCDs), make a subcutane­ous tunnel with blunt dissection using straight forceps. This channel makes the catheter and sheath entr y easier and, more importantly, permits blood to drain outside of the leg if the puncture site opens after the catheters have been removed. It is important to avoid exten­sive disruption of skin and subcutaneous tissue while creating the channel because these are the natural barriers to infection.

Figure 2-13 A, Femoral artery has been entered by a large-bore needle
with backflow of blood. Note the operator’s finger positions. As soon as the needle passes into the vessel through the anterior wall, brisk pulsatile flow occurs. This technique, called the “front wall stick,” prevents occult bleeding through the posterior wall. B, The flexible tip of the guidewire is passed through the needle into the vessel. C, A valve sheath is introduced into the artery. The needle is withdrawn, the ar tery is compressed, and the wire is pinched and fixed. D, The valve sheath is advanced over a guidewire, and the dilator and guidewire are removed. E, Arrows: Shown is position of sewing rings to attach valve to skin, should prolonged inser tion be required.

thrombolytic agents. The original Seldinger double-wall puncture technique is not explained here. The single-wall technique begins with the operator’s fingers positioned over the femoral artery as described earlier. Hold the arterial needle (without an obturator) between the index and middle fingers (as if holding a pencil), with the tip of the

bevel directed upward. Introduce the needle through the skin and advance slowly toward the artery at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the horizontal plane. An entry into the artery that is too vertical creates problems in advancing the guidewire and promotes sheath and cath­eter kinking. Pulsation may be felt when the needle contacts the arte­rial wall. A slight resistance to the needle can be felt as it passes through the arterial wall. At this point, a jet of blood from the needle hub confirms arterial puncture. Maintain the immediate strong spurt of pulsatile arterial blood by stably holding the needle hub. Resting the wrist on the patient’s thigh is helpful. Straighten the J-tipped guide­wire and introduce it into the needle. Introduce the wire only when good pulsatile blood flow is present.

Arterial and Venous Access 73
Guidewire Insertion
Advance the guidewire gently into the artery. A soft J-tipped guidewire is the safest. Although straight-tipped guidewires have been used, the potential is high for subintimal dissection or tearing of the blood vessel wall. The wire should move without resistance. If the operator encoun­ters resistance, pull the wire out and confirm that pulsatile blood returns. Use fluoroscopy often to check wire movement. Repositioning of the needle may be necessary if the wire cannot be advanced freely. Sometimes the needle tip partially penetrates the posterior wall. In this case, there is good blood return, but the wire cannot be advanced because it is directed into the posterior wall of the artery rather than the arterial lumen. Withdrawing the needle 1 to 2 mm usually solves this problem. Move the needle hub a few millimeters laterally or medi­ally, after which the guidewire is slowly readvanced. It is important not to move the needle hub excessively in either direction, which could slice the arterial lumen. In the case of a very vertical (>45-degree angle) entry into the artery, as is sometimes encountered in obese patients, lowering the needle hub several millimeters may improve the artery and needle tip alignment and permit easier guidewire passage. The operator should attempt to puncture the artery close to the midline of the anterior vessel wall. Puncturing the lateral arterial wall may create a problem in advancing the guidewire or, worse, in controlling bleeding after the procedure.
If it is not possible to advance the wire or if the needle comes out of the artery, withdraw the needle from the skin and apply pressure over the puncture site for at least 2 minutes to ensure hemostasis. Repeat the procedure using a slightly different angle or direction. If the artery is not encountered, completely withdraw the needle again, flush it of clot or fat, and advance in a different direction. Because of the sharp edge of the needle used for single-wall entry, the direction of the needle generally should not be changed when the needle tip is in the subcutaneous tissue. If the artery cannot be located by palpa­tion, use a Doppler-tipped needle (Smart Needle) (which differentiates the high-pitched [arterial] or low-pitched [venous] flow velocity sounds) or two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound imaging to localize and enter the artery (Fig. 2-14).
From Guidewire to Catheter Insertion
If you encounter no resistance, advance the guidewire several centi­meters at first and then farther into the abdominal aorta using fluoros­copy. Fluoroscopy of the guidewire moving through the iliac artery identifies large arterial plaques and excessive tortuosity, which com­plicates later catheter manipulation. As noted earlier, use of a J-tipped soft-spring guidewire is recommended because a straight wire may pass under a plaque, resulting in dissection. After the guidewire is well positioned above the iliac artery, remove the arterial needle. Apply firm pressure over the puncture site (to control bleeding) with the last
