Brief Summary
The aim of this non-inferiority trial is to determine if the distal radial access (DRA) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has an acceptable efficacy compared to the reference access through the conventional radial artery (TRA) with a lower rate of radial artery occlusion (RAO) in real life practice.

distal radial artery approach
EXPERIMENTALElective percutaneous coronary intervention by forearm radial artery through the distal radial artery in the dorsum of the hand or the anatomical snuff-box
conventional radial artery approach
ACTIVE COMPARATORElective percutaneous coronary intervention through conventional radial artery access
Interventions
Procedure: Use of radial artery for access for a coronary angiography or intervention After preparation and local anesthesia, the operator will puncture the distal radial artery in the dorsum of the hand or the anatomical snuff-box. Then a sheath will be placed. A cocktail combining Risordan®, Loxen® and unfractionated heparin will be injected through the sheath. a wire will be introduced. At the end of the procedure, the sheath will be removed immediately and hemostasis by compression will be carried out with an elastic band for 12 hours. The choice of limb side, sheath, catheters will be chosen according to the operator's discretion.
Procedure: conventional radial access for a percutaneous coronary intervention After preparation and local anesthesia, the operator will puncture the proximal radial artery at the conventional site in distal forearm. Then a sheath will be placed. A cocktail combining Risordan®, Loxen® and unfractionated heparin will be injected through the sheath. a wire will be introduced. At the end of the procedure, the sheath will be removed immediately and hemostasis by compression will be carried out with an elastic band for 12 hours. The choice of limb side, sheath, catheters will be chosen according to the operator's discretion.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Over 18 years old.
- Hospitalized in the cardiology department of the military hospital of Tunis.
- elective Percutaneous coronary intervention performed by experienced operators or fellows trained in the proximal and distal radial approach
