Cardiac catheterization via the radial artery is associated with vascular complications, albeit less frequently than with the femoral approach. However, the management of these complications differs and is poorly described in the literature. We present our experience with vascular complications secondary to transradial access, with emphasis on their specific treatment. From January 2001 to October 2003 a total of 8159 cardiac catheterizations were performed, of which 3369 (41.3%) were done by radial artery approach. In 21 cases (0.06%) severe vascular hemorrhagic complications were observed (hematomas > 6 cm, n = 13; fistulas, n = 2; perforations, n = 5; pseudoaneurysm, n = 1). All patients were treated conservatively and none needed blood transfusions. A detailed description of the hemostasis techniques is provided.

Objective: To explore the anatomical and clinical factors that affect the radiographic exposure time in radial artery cerebral angiography and to establish a model.
Method: A total of 210 patients who underwent radial artery cerebral angiography at this center from September 2021 to May 2022 were selected, and their anatomical and clinical factors were analyzed to evaluate the correlation between these factors and the duration of radiographic exposure. A related neural network prediction model was established.

Wrist ganglion cysts typically do not show noticeable symptoms but can affect aesthetics and even compress adjacent blood vessels and nerves. Compression therapy can eliminate cysts. However, caution is needed when treating cysts around the radial artery.

The brachial plexus is the primary nerve source for the upper limb. Variations in its anatomy can alter the nerve supply to the upper extremity. Such deviations are clinically important, as they can change the symptomatology of various pathologic conditions, leading to misdiagnosis, inadequate treatment, and surgical failures as a consequence.
