Observational Study of Hand Function After Distal Transradial Access for Angiography

United Kingdom40 participantsStarted 2019-01-01

Plain-language summary

Traditionally, coronary angiograms are performed through the radial artery which is accessed above the palm of the 'right' hand. In recent years, some cardiologists are performing this procedure from the back of the wrist in as the radial artery courses through the anatomical snuffbox (distal radial access). The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of hand dysfunction following coronary angiography via the distal radial artery.
