The transradial approach (TRA) for coronary angiography and interventions is increasingly utilized around the world. Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most common significant complication after transradial catheterization, with incidence varying between 1% and 10%. Although RAO is rarely accompanied by hand ischemia, it is an important complication because it prohibits future transradial access and radial artery utilization as a conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting or arteriovenous fistula formation. In this review, we discuss factors predicting the occurrence of RAO, aspects of accurate and prompt recognition, methods that contribute to its prevention and possible treatment options.

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.

Background: An effectively functioning arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is vital for end-stage renal disease patients. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Fogarty balloon catheter dilation on creating an effectively functioning AVF.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at our clinic between 2020 and 2022.

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.

Aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) account for up to 40% of all unruptured intracranial aneurysms [1-3] and 14% to 20% of ruptured ones. [4-5] Giant MCA aneurysms are rare, representing 10% of cases [6], but carry an aggressive natural history, with the UCAS Japan study reporting an annual rupture rate of ∼ 17%. [7].
