The study compared distal radial artery (DRA) access below the thumb with proximal radial artery (PRA) access above the wrist. Dr. Karim Al-Azizi presented the 1-year results of the DIPRA study, the first randomized trial comparing hand function outcomes. Metrics included hand-grip strength, pinch test, and QuickDASH questionnaire. No significant differences were found between DRA and PRA groups in hand function change. The study also reported similar outcomes in bleeding incidence and successful access rates. U.S. interventional cardiologists have been slow in adopting radial artery access, with some patients preferring femoral access for fine motor hand function.
