Abstract
Background and Objectives£ºThe transradial approach has been suggested as an alternative entry site for coronary angiography. The complication and success rates of the vascular procedure have been associated with age. The aim of this study was to determine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of transradial coronary angiography for patients greater than age 70 compared with younger patients.

Subjects and Methods£ºClinical and angiographic data were reviewed retrospectively in 894 consecutive patients who underwent transradial coronary angiography from January 2001 through May 2003. Procedure-related results were used to compare 2 groups, patients aged < 70 years and those > 70 years.

Results£ºIn a consecutive series of 894 patients, 638 were < 70 years of age and 256 were > 70 years of age. There was no significant difference in the rate of success in patients > 70 years compared with patients < 70 (91.1% vs 93.6%). No severe complications, such as death, vascular dissection, rupture, and major cerebrovascular accidents were present in either group. Procedure-related variables, including procedure time, radiographic contrast use, and the number of catheters used per case, were similar between the two groups.

Conclusion£ºTransradial access is a safe and feasible approach for coronary angiography in elderly patients, yielding results similar to those achieved with younger patients.
