RADIAL ACCESS FOR CORONARY INTERVENTION


Transradial Artery Access (TRA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is proven to reduce associated bleeding and vascular complications; especially in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).¹ Use of TRA for coronary angiography and PCI is also associated with improved measures of quality of life and reduced costs compared with Transfemoral Access. A growing body of evidence supports adoption of TRA to improve ACS-related outcomes, to improve healthcare quality, and to reduce cost.¹

Coronary Artery Disease, or CAD, develops when the major blood vessels in the heart (coronary arteries) become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease.2 Below are a few articles demonstrating the benefit of radial access coronary procedures.
