  • Radial artery anomalies in patients undergoing transradial coronary procedures - An Egyptian multicenter experience

    2016, Egyptian Heart Journal
    Citation Excerpt :

    Up to our knowledge, this is the first large multicenter Egyptian study presenting the radial anomalies and its impact on the TR approach in six tertiary and university affiliated centers. The incidence of TR procedures technical failure is about 1–5%.25–28 The commonest causes of this failure are inability to puncture, artery spasm and anatomical abnormalities.19,21,29

  • Comparison between intra-venous versus intra-arterial heparin during transradial coronary artery catheterization

    2014, Journal of the Saudi Heart Association
    Citation Excerpt :

    Trans-radial coronary procedures were first described by Campeau in 1989 [1], and over the past few years these procedures have increased due to significant reduction in site-related complications and increased patient convenience [2,3].

  • Transradial approach in the catheterization laboratory: Pros/cons and suggestions for successful implementation

    2013, International Journal of Cardiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    As a result, this novel technique did not gain immediate widespread acceptance and was essentially limited to cases with contraindications to femoral approach [1,2]. Nevertheless, it was promptly clear that the use of radial access could be associated with some important advantages when compared to other access sites, such as a lower vascular complication risk and easier post-procedural management [3,4]. Indeed, the incidence of puncture-related complications with femoral, brachial or axillary arteries remained higher when compared to the radial artery even if the patient's bleeding profile was normal and post-procedural compression was properly done [5,6].

  • Arteria lusoria diagnosed by transradial coronary catheterization

    2010, JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions
    Citation Excerpt :

    Increasing numbers of transradial coronary angiographies have been performed because of the high success rate, low risk of complication, and patients' comfort (1).
