Background To evaluate anatomical and clinical factors that make trans-radial cerebral
angiography more difficult. Methods A total of 52 trans-radial diagnostic angiograms were …

The introduction of transradial access for percutaneous coronary diagnostic and
interventional procedures has led to a decrease in access site complications. The aim of this …

The radial artery is the preferred access site for cardiac catheterization because of patient
comfort, early ambulation, and improved survival in acute coronary syndromes, when …

La utilización del acceso transradial en el cateterismo cardiaco ha aumentado
progresivamente debido a sus claras ventajas sobre el acceso transfemoral. Sin embargo …

Radial artery spasm is one of the most commonly encountered problems during transradial
interventions with a reported incidence in the range of 6–10%. Balloon-assisted tracking …

Radial artery access is preferred over femoral access for primary percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction because …

Discussion Radial loop is the most encountered anatomical variation responsible for
procedural failure even for experienced radial interventionalists. However, with the growing …

In a patient with a small-calibre radial artery and a 360° radio-ulnar loop, we combined the
balloon-assisted tracking (BAT) technique (used to track a catheter trough the loop) with the …

The use of transradial cardiac catheterization access has increased steadily due to its clear
advantages over transfemoral access. However, some laboratories and operators argue that …
