transradial approach

Transradial cardiac catheterization is equally effective but has fewer vascular complications than transfemoral catheterization. There is a paucity of data on biradial approach for alcohol septal ablation (ASA). This study seeks to study the...

The transulnar approach has been proposed as a safe alternative to the more established transradial approach for cardiac catheterization. However, no study has assessed the anatomy and variability of the ulnar artery using angiography.

The transulnar approach has been...
