The Advantages of Universal Guiding Catheters for the Transradial Approach

10/06/2019

Sandeep Nathan , MD, MSc, FACC, FSCAI;

With a universal catheter, the expectation is that you will cannulate multiple vessels — often all vessels — with a single catheter, which allows for efficiencies during the procedure. More importantly, use of a universal guiding catheter...

Keep an Open Mind About Distal Radial Access

03/04/2019

Ferdinand Kiemeneij , MD, PhD;

Darren Klass , MD, PhD;

Sandeep Nathan , MD, MSc, FACC, FSCAI;

Accessing the radial artery distal to the wrist in the anatomic snuffbox is a reasonable option for primary access, as well as a suitable bailout option.

Accessing the radial artery...

Sheharyar Minhas , MD;

Maira Malik , MD;

Kevin Barretto ;

Sunil Dhar , MD;

Iatrogenic AV fistulas result from penetration of a needle through an arterial and venous tributary during angiographic catheterization procedures. Rarely, when the communication between the artery and vein does not seal spontaneously, an AV...

Article Highlight: “Hand Dysfunction After Transradial Artery Catheterization for Coronary Procedures”

03/03/2019

Marshall W. Ritchey , MS, MBA, RCIS;

Complications are uncomfortable and scary for our patients. Now is the time to focus on how to avoid radial artery complications in the future, and how to quickly respond and treat complications appropriately when they do occur.

Complications are uncomfortable...

“Blowout” Technique: Deep Expiration for Wire Navigation Into the Ascending Aorta With Severe Subclavian Tortuosity From the Right Radial Approach

11/27/2018

Richard Casazza , MAS, RT(R)(CI);

Prior to bailing out to an alternative approach, we hypothesized that doing the exact opposite might gain us access to the AA. After several minutes of fluoroscopy and extensive deep inspirations disallowed navigation, a single deep...
