Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyPost-procedural/pre-hemostasis intra-arterial nitroglycerin after transradial catheterization: A gender based analysis.
We analyzed the effect of nitroglycerin on radial artery occlusion (RAO) in women undergoing transradial catheterization. ⋯ The administration of nitroglycerin at the end of a transradial catheterization in women did not reduce the risk of RAO as determined by ultrasound one day after the radial procedure. Age <60years was associated with a higher risk of RAO compared with age ≥60years in women. Further strategies to reduce RAO in women are needed.
