Abstract

Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is an infrequent but important consequence of transradial access. It prevents subsequent use of the same radial artery for coronary angiography and intervention. We describe a new "proximal entry" technique in 3 cases of RAO, which allowed successful completion of the procedures. This technique should add to the armamentarium of a radial operator allowing for reaccessing the radial artery. (J Interven Cardiol 2011;24:378-381).
