Abstract
The adoption of distal transradial access (dTRA) as default approach for coronary angiography and interventions was recently published. As a refinement of conventional (proximal) TRA, this technique has many advantages in terms of patient and operator comfort, access-site bleeding, faster hemostasis, and risk of radial artery occlusion. Bilateral dTRA for complex chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention by experienced operators is feasible and safe.
