Long-Term Outcomes and Weight Loss After Bariatric Embolization of the Left Gastric Artery
Original Contribution

Once the learning period is completed, the transradial approach is technically as feasible as the femoral approach for post-CABG angiography and PCI, yet it retains the significant safety advantages of radial access. It is now the...
