TCTAP A-163 Incidence of Radial and Brachial Artery Spasm in Trans-Radial Coronary Procedures Using Long Hydrophilic Radial Sheath

Abstract

There are many advantages of using radial artery as vascular access for coronary procedures. These include easier hemostasis and early ambulation. But there are also difficulties because of the relatively small radial artery size. Radial artery spasm (RAS) and rarely brachial artery spasm (BAS) are
