Effect of duration of hemostatic compression on radial artery occlusion after transradial access.

Effect of duration of hemostatic compression on radial artery occlusion after transradial access. Pancholy SB, Patel TM. Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the effect of duration of hemostatic compression on the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) after transradial coronary intervention. Background: RAO occurs in 2-10% of patients after transradial access. The effect of duration of…
