Treatment of Radial Artery Occlusions Using Balloon Angioplasty and Localized Intra‐Arterial Abciximab
ConclusionsBalloon angioplasty and intrathrombus administration of abciximab via a catheter appears to be a safe, effective, and durable technique for reestablishing the patency of an occluded radial artery following transradial catheterization. Larger studies are needed to confirm our findings and establish the role for this technique in an algorithm for treatment of RAO.
