Abstract

Radial artery access should be the default approach for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention regardless of the clinical presentation. Benefits of radial access are strongly depending on the volume of transradial procedures performed. Currently, a significant proportion of procedures continues to be performed by femoral access despite validated advantages associated with the transradial approach.
