Forearm Versus Femoral Approach for Cardiac Catheterization in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients

A dual-access approach for CTO intervention using transradial and ipsilateral transulnar access is reported. Although retrograde CTO intervention is a challenging procedure, a single arm-double access approach seems to be a feasible...
