Transradial access for balloon-assisted maturation of arteriovenous fistulas
Balloon-assisted maturation (BAM) of arteriovenous fistulas has conventionally been performed via direct fistula access. The transradial approach has not been well described for BAM, although its use has been reported throughout the cardiology literature.

Feasibility and Safety of Distal Transradial Access in Patients With Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Undergoing Emergency PCI: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Distal transradial access (dTRA) has gained attention for its lower risk of vascular complications compared to conventional transradial access (TRA). However, its feasibility and safety in patients with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain uncertain.

Could radiation exposure be the Achilles’ heel of distal transradial artery access?
Distal transradial access for vascular interventions has gained ground recently. While the novel approach is associated with reduced radial artery occlusion and faster hemostasis, it could be related with prolonged procedural time, higher crossover rate ...
