Rate of late radial artery occlusion following cardiac catheterization at Jordan University Hospital.

A recanalizing-process might decrease the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) at a late assessment postcatheterization opposed to an early assessment. In this study, we evaluated the rate of RAO at a late postcatheterization period. A retrospective case-control design was adapted including 148 patients who underwent -radial cardiac catheterization 7 to 18 months ago.
