Comparison of radial versus brachial approaches for diagnostic coronary angiography when the femoral approach is contraindicated

The American Journal of Cardiology
D J Hildick-SmithM C Petch

Abstract

One hundred patients with contraindications to the femoral approach were randomized to undergo diagnostic coronary angiography via percutaneous radial puncture or brachial artery cutdown. Procedure duration, fluoroscopy time, and total radiation dose were significantly less via the radial route, whereas procedural success, complication rates, and pain scores were comparable; we conclude that the radial technique should be the arm approach of choice for new trainees, although there will be occasions when radial access fails and a brachial approach is required.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
