Successful transradial percutaneous coronary intervention with radial artery anomaly

J Pak Med Assoc. 2010 Jul;60(7):593-5.

Abstract

The transradial approach as an access for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been widely adopted. However, anatomical variations and stenoses may pose significant challenges to the operator. We report a case of successful transradial PCI in a patient with a complete radioulnar loop.
