Radial artery occlusion after conventional and distal radial access: Impact of preserved flow and time‐to‐hemostasis in a propensity‐score matching analysis of 1163 patients

To compare incidence of forearm radial artery occlusion (RAO) and hemostasis characteristics between distal and conventional transradial approach (DRA and TRA, respectively).DRA has the potential advantage of reducing RAO. DRA effectively reduces time-to-hemostasis, however its role on preserving flow in the radial artery (PF) during hemostasis and consequent impact on RAO remains speculative.Eight hundred thirty-seven patients with TRA were...
