Abstract

Aim: The aim is to evaluate the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) and radial artery thrombosis in patients undergoing radial angiography. Patients & methods: We prospectively included 261 consecutive patients undergoing radial angiography, assessing radial artery diameter and thrombosis presence. Results: The CRP values were significantly higher in radial artery thrombosis group compared with group without thrombosis (13.01 vs. 4.33 mg/l, p < 0.001, respectively). Also CAR was statistically significantly different between the group with thrombosis and the group without thrombosis (0.102 vs. 0.349, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our study is the first to assess CAR in radial thrombus development post-procedure in patients undergoing radial angiography. CAR can be useful in determining radial artery thrombosis after the coronary angiography.
