Objective:To compare the efficacy of spasmolytic cocktail composed of Nitroglycerin,Verapamil,Diltiazem and Isosorbide mononitrate in reducing the incidence of radial atery spasm in patients undergoing transradial coronary interventions. Methods:Pa-tients enrolled were randomly divided into three groups. After successful cannulation and sheath insertion into radial arteries,patients in group A received intra-aterial Nitroglycerin 200 μg and Verapamil 200 μg,patients in group B received Isosorbide mononitrate 5 mg and Verapamil 200 μg,patients in group C received Nitroglycerin 200 μg and Diltiazem 2.5 mg. Then the incidence of spasm was determined. Results:There were significant statistical differences between groups A and C(P<0.05). Conclusion:Intra-arterial pre-medication with cocktail composed of 200 μg Nitroglycerin and 200 μg Verapamil is more effective in preventing radial spasms dur-ing percutaneous coronary interventions through radial artery.
