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...

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.

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...

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.

Koutouzis et al(1) offer one of the first reports in a journal of hematoma encountered after dorsal radial access, although several other reports of hematoma and even pseudoaneurysm(2) have already appeared on social media.

This is the first reported case of severe hand hematoma after cardiac catheterization through the distal radial artery, with the hematoma extending distally to the sheath insertion site.

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...
