Clinical Scorecard: Assessment of Radial Artery Dissection: Incidence, Classification, Healing Patterns, and Vascular Remodeling via Optical Coherence Tomography
At a Glance
| Category | Detail |
|---|
| Condition | |
| Key Mechanisms | Improper manipulation of introducer sheath or guiding catheter leading to arterial wall damage (source needed). |
| Target Population | |
| Care Setting | |
Key Highlights
- Healing patterns showed complete healing predominantly through intimal hyperplasia (60%) or fibrous plaque (40%) (source needed).
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Management
- Monitor healing patterns and vascular remodeling in patients with RAD (source needed).
Monitoring & Follow-up
Risks
Patient & Prescribing Data
Older age, female sex, and smaller radial artery diameter are associated with increased RAD risk (source needed).
Clinical Best Practices
- Administer vasodilator cocktail during procedures to minimize spasm (source needed).
