Transradial access: A case for knowledge translation

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2019 Jun 1;93(7):1288-1289. doi: 10.1002/ccd.28349.

Abstract

Current transradial access (TRA) practices are unknown in the United States and the rest of the world. There is a decline in preprocedure collateral assessment, low use of ultrasound, and infrequent radial patency check after hemostasis. Significant knowledge-practice gaps exist in TRA calling for more dissemination and education.
