    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    BETWEEN 2011 AND 2013, TRANSRADIAL PCIS PERFORMED USING STANDARD GC (MEDTRONIC LAUNCHER) AND THE NON-MDT SHEATHLESS EAUCATH GC. THE GOAL OF THE STUDY WAS TO COMPARE THE 6-F GC VS THE 6.5-F SHEATHLESS GC IN ROUTINE PCI IN WOMEN AND THE 7-F GC WITH THE 7.5 SHEATHLESS GC IN MEN WHO UNDERWENT COMPLEX PCI (EG, BIFURCATION LESIONS OR LEFT ANTERIOR DESCENDING [LAD] ARTERY AND/OR LEFT CIRCUMFLEX [LCX] OSTIAL LESIONS). IN CONCLUSION, THE USE OF THE SHEATHLESS GC IN SELECTED CORONARY LESIONS REQUIRING LARGE-BORE CATHETERS IN MEN AND IN ALL LESIONS IN WOMEN WAS SAFE AND SUPERIOR TO THE USE OF THE STANDARD GC WHEN CONSIDERING SUCCESSFUL TRANSRADIAL PCI WITH THE DESIGNATED GC. COMPLICATION LISTED INCLUDED PSEUDO ANEURYSM AND OCCLUSION.
