Right coronary angiogram
Posted by: Johnson Francis on: 15 Jul, 2009
Right coronary angiogram, done by the trans radial approach. The trans radial approach is more acceptable for the person as it does not restrict mobility after the procedure as in the case of trans femoral angiography. The bleeding risk is much lesser. But occasionally spasm of the radial artery can cause problems during the procedure interfering with easy catheter manipulation. The trans radial route can be used both for diagnostic angiography as well as for interventional procedures.
