Consistent anatomic accessibility, ease of cannulation, and a low rate of complications have
made the radial artery the preferred site for arterial cannulation. Radial artery catheterization …

The transradial approach to cardiac catheterization has many advantages over the
transfemoral approach and is increasingly being used for both diagnostic coronary …

Aim The guideline for coronary artery revascularization replaces the 2011 coronary artery
bypass graft surgery and the 2011 and 2015 percutaneous coronary intervention guidelines …

Internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) should be used to bypass the left anterior descending (LAD)
artery when bypass of the LAD is indicated (class of recommendation [COR] I, level of …

Background: An internal thoracic artery graft to the left anterior descending artery is standard
in coronary bypass surgery, but controversy exists on the best second conduit. The RAPCO …

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and procedural
variables by the transradial approach compared with the transfemoral access in a standard …

Aims Transradial coronary intervention (TRI) introduces a trauma to the radial artery (RA),
possibly influencing quality as a bypass conduit if subsequently used. We sought to …

Transradial catheterization (TRC) has been associated with a lower incidence of major
access site related complications as compared to the transfemoral approach. With the …
