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.

This prospective, single-center study randomized 2532 patients to either transulnar (TUA) or transradial access (TRA), and found TUA to be non-inferior to TRA when performed by an experienced operator.
