[Transradial approach for coronary angiography and angioplasty].
The transradial approach of coronary angiography and angioplasty is now become a good alternative to the femoral approach in patients with normal Allen test results, because low rate of access site complication, improved patient comfort and early ambulation. This approach is particularly interesting in obese patients, aortoiliac disease or in patients under anticoagulation treatment or thrombolytics.
