Abstract：Objective To review the feasibility, safety and clinical significance of implementing selective renal angiography at the same time of implementing selective coronary angiography via radial artery approach. Methods The patients (n=52) with increased blood pressure and suspected coronary heart disease (CHD) were chosen from the People's Hospital of Shiyan City of Hubei Province from Mar. 2016 to Dec. 2016. All patients were divided, according to different artery approaches, into radial angiography group (n=28) and femoral angiography group (n=24), and given selective renal angiography immediately after selective coronary angiography via corresponding approaches respectively. The time of X-ray exposure, operation duration, operation success rate and incidence of complications were compared between 2 groups. Results There were 8 cases of renal artery stenosis detected from 2 groups, and the total incidence of renal artery stenosis was 15.4%. The time of X-ray exposure and operation duration had no significant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05). The operation success rate was significantly lower in radial angiography group than that in femoral angiography group (85.71% vs. 95.83%, P<0.05). The incidence of vascular complications was significantly lower in radial angiography group than that in femoral angiography group (3.57% vs. 12.50%, P<0.05). Conclusion With the popularity of implementing selective coronary angiography via radial artery approach, implementing selective renal angiography via the same approach for clearing severity of renal artery stenosis is safe and feasible with less complications. The operation success rate can be improved through increasing catheter length.
