Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyThe Comparison of Traditional Radial Access and Novel Distal Radial Access for Cardiac Catheterization.
The traditional radial access (TRA) has been used almost routinely in coronary interventions in our clinic. Recently, we have started to use distal radial artery point as distal radial access (DRA) more frequently. The aim of this study is to compare these techniques (DRA and TRA) in terms of their safety, feasibility, and effectiveness. ⋯ DRA is feasible and safe for coronary angiography and interventions like TRA. It can be used as an alternative technique.
