Coronary access via the distal radial artery for interventional procedures reduces the risk of arterial occlusion and higher-grade hematomas compared with the traditional radial approach, according to ...

A 44 year woman was admitted with complaints of chest pain. Her cardiac markers were raised, and ECG showed dynamic ST-T changes in the inferolateral leads. She had undergone CABG 4 years previously ...

PHOENIX -- Introducing the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) catheter through the anatomical snuffbox on the wrist remained as safe at 1 year for hand function as the usual radial access route, ...

PARIS -- For coronary procedures, conventional radial access held up against a newer technique developed to reduce radial artery occlusion (RAO), according to the DISCO RADIAL investigators. They ...

One-year findings from the Distal versus Proximal Radial Artery Access for Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention (DIPRA) study were presented as late-breaking clinical research at the Society for ...

Intraarticular fractures of the distal radius were treated successfully with a single volar incision and the insertion of a fixed angle plate. Researchers led by Jorge Orbay, MD, of the Miami Hand ...

A left radial artery approach to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) confers no greater risk for complications than right radial access and may be associated with an early stroke benefit, UK ...

The DIPRA study compared distal and proximal radial artery access for cardiac catheterization and found comparable efficacy and a lower risk of occlusion One-year follow-up results showed promising ...
