title: Obstacles encountered during transradial angiography from after Radial Artery puncture to the aortic arch.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To elucidate the key points for safe performance of transradial angiography.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Transradial angiography can be performed safely if attention is paid to the following points from after radial artery puncture to reaching the aortic arch: resistance during guide wire operation for sheath insertion after puncture; confirmation of the superficial brachial artery; guide wire resistance while guiding the catheter to the aortic arch; and aortic arch anomalies.
