Radial approach to right heart catheterization: early experience with a promising technique.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
January 2002
Article Synopsis
- Transradial cardiac catheterization, traditionally focused on arterial access, is now extended to include both arterial and venous access using small-diameter tools.
- A study of 55 cardiac procedures demonstrated that this method achieved successful combined right and left heart catheterization in over 50% of cases using forearm veins.
- While this technique offers various benefits, the reliability of consistently accessing both venous and arterial vessels in the wrist area remains uncertain.
