Utility of Transradial Approach for Peripheral Vascular Interventions

Despite demonstrating better patient safety, acceptance of TRA as an access site of choice has remained low, with geographical variations. One of the relative contraindications to performing PCI through TRA is an abnormal Allen’s test (AT),...
