Hyper Adduction of Right Radial Artery/Arm vs Left Drag Over Technique

United States534 participantsStarted 2022-11-10

Plain-language summary

Several studies have shown that operator exposure via left transradial catheterization has yielded less operator exposure compared to standard right transradial procedure. However, in light of new data, the investigators hypothesize a hyperadducted right arm during right transradial cardiac catheterization will yield comparable, or the same operator radiation exposure.
