Robert J. Applegate , MD;

Rahul P. Sharma , MD, MBBS, FRACP;

Many experts recommend assessing the patency of the palmar arch prior to transradial angioplasty for cardiac catheterization; however, there are no robust data to support this practice. Therefore, it is perhaps time to reevaluate this...
