Objective To discuss the importance of early identification and effective management of puncture-associated complications after trans-radial percutaneous coronary procedures. Methods A total of 698 patients undergoing trans-radial percutaneous coronary procedures from June to December 2012 were included and followed up. The puncture associated complications and their clinical managements were summarized in the present study. Results We found that trans-radial approach was safe. The main puncture-associated complications included access-site pain, tension blisters and hemorrhagic complication. Complications with severe clinical consequence were rare. Most of the complications could be successfully treated with conservative management including access-site nursing and psychological nursing. Conclusion Trans-radial approach is safe for percutaneous coronary procedures, but close clinical monitoring and nursing are essential.
