Description

For performing coronary interventions several approaches are in use, most common being femoral artery and the other being the radial artery approach. Femoral artery approach is associated with more bleeding and other complications as AV fistula formation and local hematoma . Radial artery intervention although associated with less bleeding but is associated with risk of radial atrery occlusion. Distal transradial interventions are the latest state of art and associated with minimal chances of radial artery occlusion. Atrerial sheath can be removed immediately after the procedure and the patient can mobilise.
