Evaluation of Peripheral Vascular Function After Distal Radial Artery Access for Invasive Percutaneous Coronary Procedures

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the difference in impact between distal transradial access (dTRA) and classical transradial access (TRA) on vascular function using flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) following coronary diagnostic and therapeutic catheterizations.
