Feasibility of Transradial Access Through Chronically Occluded Radial Arteries
Background Radial artery occlusion (RAO) often precludes the use of transradial access (TRA) for coronary procedures. This study examines the feasibility and outcomes of TRA through chronically occluded radial arteries. Methods Access was obtained in the proximal or distal radial artery using ultrasound guidance by angiocath needle.

Development of a polymer endovascular prosthesis and its implantation in porcine arteries [PDF]
A polyethylene-terephthalate braided mesh stent has been developed for application in the (coronary) arterial tree. In vitro measurements showed that the radial pressure delivered by this device was in the same range as that of a stainless steel stent ...
