Repeated radial artery puncture for cardiac catheterization. The radial artery approach for percutaneous cardiac interventions has gained worldwide acceptance due to the similar results obtained by the femoral artery access. In this paper, we report our experience with repeated puncture of the radial artery. One hundred and eighty two radial artery access procedures were performed, in 17 interventions the puncture was repeated once or twice, with a total of 20 therapeutic catheterizations (9 coronary angiographies, 11 angioplasties). There was no therapeutic failure through the radial approach but, we successfully gained access in 88.2% (15/17) of the re-interventions cases. Although an experience with a low number of cases, we had a very high successful therapeutic rate, and also a remarkable lowering of local complications, this shows the feasibility and potential of this technique.

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.
