Distal Radial Access: is There any Clinical Benefit?
https://doi.org/10.23934/2223-9022-2023-12-3-464-470
Abstract
For decades, the femoral artery has been the most common access for diagnostic and therapeutic endovascular operations. However, over the past 20 years, radial access has been gaining popularity as being safer and more practical with more significant benefits. Recently, the new distal radial access has proven to be equal or perhaps even safer than the vascular access for diagnostic and therapeutic coronary and non-coronary interventions. Today, this access should be in the arsenal of every interventional surgeon.
