Abstract

CCardiovascular diseases contribute to the deaths of millions of individuals each year. Among these diseases, coronary artery disease stands out as a condition that requires urgent treatment and can lead to sudden death. Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, benefiting from advancements in science and technology. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the use of the radial artery for coronary artery disease diagnosis and treatment within the field of coronary angiography. Compared to femoral and brachial arteries, the radial artery offers several advantages in accessing the coronary vessels. Nurses, as integral members of the multidisciplinary healthcare system, play a crucial role in all stages of the process, from pre-transradial angiography to the procedure itself and post-procedure care, contributing to the quality of patient care and the healthcare system. This review aims to elucidate the roles of nurses in the increasingly utilized transradial angiography method worldwide and provide an overview of perioperative nursing care based on the latest literature.
