Radial sheath fracture removed surgically after severe radial spasm
19 Mar 2021
Radial artery spasm is inevitable when dealing with small caliber one, especially in calcified radial artery. We describe a case in which radial sheath broke due to severe radial spasm and successfully removed by vascular surgical extraction.

Overcoming the 360 degree radial artery loop
17 Mar 2021
A 77-year-old man was admitted for an elective diagnostic coronary angiogram. Following insertion of a 6Fr sheath into the distal right radial artery, a radial angiogram showed complete 360 degree radial artery loop...
Undilatable calcific lesion even after rotational atherectomy
19 Dec 2019
View this very uncommon case in which balloons do not expand even after a rather aggressive rotational atherectomy: a 43-year-old male with hypertension, smoking and dyslipidemia presents with total occlusion of proximal left anterior descending artery with fresh thrombus...

Radial approach: the essentials
15 Mar 2019
PCR edu online
Radial access is generally very simple, but sometimes it can be more challenging. Watch these videos to become more confident and improve your performance in this technique. The course follows a logical sequence, from patient selection, to puncture and navigation, to ostia vessel cannulation. Consult...
Chapter 3 - Cannulation: guiding catheter choice (module 3.3)
22 Nov 2018
What kind and size of guiding catheter should you use for radial? I. Al Rashdan and H. Routledge share their insights and experience on selecting the appropriate guiding catheters for interventional procedures and optimising the support.
