If you are experiencing chest pain, your doctor may recommend a cardiac catheterization (also known as a coronary angiogram) to get images of your heart and learn the cause.

The doctor slowly pushes the catheter up the radial artery as it becomes the brachial artery and then the axillary artery. The catheter stops at the ascending aorta, just above the heart.

Diagnosing coronary heart disease has been accomplished since the 1960s by coronary angiography. During the process, involving guiding a catheter tube through the body to the heart, contrast dye is… ...

After more than 20 years of experience with transradial cardiac catheterization, there are now multiple registry and trial data to recommend the radial approach as part of the standard of care for ...

Initial findings from the Distal versus Proximal Radial Artery Access for Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention (DIPRA) study were presented today as late-breaking clinical research at the ...

Cardiac cath with radial access usually makes the artery out-of-bounds for surgery—that should change, say researchers.

One-year findings from the Distal versus Proximal Radial Artery Access for Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention (DIPRA) study were presented as late-breaking clinical research at the Society ...

DIPRA study compares distal & proximal radial artery access for cardiac catheterization. Findings show comparable efficacy & lower risk of occlusion.
