  • Title: Transradial approach for coronary angiography and interventions in patients with coronary bypass grafts: tips and tricks.
    Author: Burzotta F, Trani C, Hamon M, Amoroso G, Kiemeneij F.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2008 Aug 01; 72(2):263-72. PubMed ID: 18655108.
    Abstract:
    Among patients undergoing coronary procedures, patients with coronary artery bypass grafts represent an important, high risk subgroup. Routine transradial approach may be successfully adopted in these patients to reduce access-site complications. However, transradial cannulation of the grafts may result technically demanding. In this article we discuss the specific technical issues and we present a series of tips and tricks which may facilitate angiography and interventions on both internal mammary and aorto-coronary grafts.
