We aimed to evaluate feasibility, contrast utilization and complications of trans-radial approach comparing the left distal trans-radial artery (lt. dTRA) access versus conventional right trans-radial artery (rt. TRA) access in coronary angiography. Subjects and Methods: This study was conducted on (100) patients who underwent coronary angiography (50 patients via lt. dTRA & 50 patients via rt. TRA) and was performed in the department of cardiology, Benha University Hospital. All patients performed ECG, echocardiography, arterial doppler pre and post procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
