Slender Sheath/Guiding Catheter Combination vs. Sheathless Guiding Catheter for Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Propensity-Matched Analysis of the Two Devices

Table 5

Multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine predictors of radial artery occlusion at 30 days.

Variables	Adjusted OR (95% CI)
Treatment modality (Glidesheath/Sheathless)	0.32 (0.11–0.93)	0.036
End-procedural ACT, per s	1.00 (0.99–1.00)	0.30
Total fluoroscopy time, per min	1.02 (1.00–1.04)	0.055

“Glidesheath” denotes 7-Fr Glidesheath slender/7-Fr guiding catheter combination group, and “Sheathless” denotes 7.5-Fr sheathless guiding catheter group. Of note, the number of catheters used per procedure was not included in the multivariate analysis. ACT, activated clotting time; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
