Trial's objective is to evaluate: i. if there's any difference between the operator radiation exposure during diagnostic coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed through right-side artery accesses (wrist transradial access and distal transradial access) versus left distal radial artery access ii. the relationship between operator radiation exposure and other clinical and procedural characteristics, to assess independent predictors of operator radiation exposure. Design of the study: prospective multicenter observational cohort registry (OCR). The purpose of this OCR is to assess the radiation exposure of interventional cardiologist during a diagnostic coronary angiography and/or PCI according to vascular access used (see above). Coronary angiography and PCI will be performed according to usual practice
