title: Cranio-caudal (transradial) approach for renal artery intervention.
abstract: This report describes the technique of transradial renal angiography and interventions. We illustrate the approach using typical case images. We believe cranio-caudal approach to the renal artery for diagnostic and therapeutic catheterization offers advantages over the traditional femoral approach.
