Impact of 5‐ and 6‐Fr Sheaths on Hemostasis Duration and Access Site Complications in Distal Transradial Approach
In our study, sheath size-specifically the comparison between 5- and 6-Fr-did not significantly affect vascular complications in the dTRA. However, using a 5-Fr sheath may reduce hemostasis time and patient discomfort compared to a 6-Fr sheath. Procedural factors such as puncture time and severe pain, as well as P2Y12 inhibitor use, should be carefully considered to minimize complications. These findings support the safe application of the dTRA with sheath size tailored to individual patient characteristics.
