Abstract

Radial artery access for endovascular arterial interventions is becoming an increasingly common choice for a variety of procedures performed in the interventional radiology suite. Prior studies performed on patients undergoing coronary angiograms have demonstrated decreased vascular and bleeding complications, along with improved survival, in patients who underwent transradial access over those who underwent transfemoral access.[1] Other potential advantages of transradial access include improved patient comfort, lack of need for an implanted closure device, and increased technical ease to access to some visceral and pelvic arteries due to their downward sloping origins.
