Because of their smaller physical stature, arm arteries are smaller in Indians compared to Caucasians. We overcame the challenge of successfully performing radial angiography and angioplasty in them by performing doppler ultrasound of arm arteries prior to interventional procedures to identify the largest and the straightest access to the patient’s heart via the hand. We […]

Angiography is a test to diagnose blockages in heart arteries. Angioplasty is the procedure to open the blocked heart arteries. These are performed through the groin( femoral access) or hand( radial access). Safety of angioplasty and angiography has improved considerably in the last 2 decades with use radial instead of femoral access. Several hemostatic devices

published in Indian heart journal shows that it is safe and feasible and can be used for treatment of patients having a heart attack and for all types of complex cases even in populations where radial arteries are narrow (<2.1mm). This paper has been cited by several other publications. Comparison of distal radial access versus
