Cardiac catheter intervention via the wrist artery (radial artery)
With catheters (2-3 mm in diameter) inserted via this access, most clarifications and interventions on the coronary arteries can be performed. Balloon dilatation (PTCA, dilatation of a narrowed coronary artery) is still the most common intervention in interventional cardiology and enables rapid and safe treatment of coronary artery disease by means of stent implantation (vessel support).
The elegant access via the wrist artery allows the patient to get up immediately after the procedure and leave the clinic the same day. In addition, the risk of bleeding is lower than with access via the inguinal artery.
