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.

Study
Radial versus femoral access and bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin in invasively managed patients with acute coronary syndrome (MATRIX): final 1-year results of a multicentre, randomised controlled trial
Featured:
Marco Valgimigli et al
This study demonstrated that in patients with acute coronary syndrome, radial access was associated with lower rates of net adverse clinical events compared with femoral access, but not major adverse cardiovascular events at 1 year.
