We sought to compare the safety and efficiency of Tiger-2 in the right radial and Judkins catheter in the left radial access. We retrospectively collected data of 487 patients, involving 172 patients after coronary angiography with Judkins on the left radial artery and 315 patients with Tiger-2 on the right radial artery access. There were no differences in baseline characteristics, except for hypertension ratio and mean age. There was a difference in pulse absence on the radial artery. The volume of contrast used was higher in the Judkins group. Both groups differed in the amount of drugs administered (NTG and heparin). Fluorescence times were comparable between groups. Radiation dosage and AK was significantly greater in the Tiger-2 group. The Tiger-2 catheters were significantly more often changed to another type of catheter (100 changes) than the Judkins (12 changes). However, there was no statistical difference in access site change. Judkins with left radial access seems to be a safer option because of the lower radiation exposure and less incidence of complications than Tiger-2 with right radial access, however, it requires a higher volume of contrast.
