What happens after transradial cardiac catheterization?
Each year, more than one million cardiac caths (catheterizations) are performed in the united states and more than 90 percent go through the groin to gain access to the arteries that lead to the heart (transfemoral access). Cardiac catheterization through the femoral artery, though considered safe, still presents some risk because of the artery’s proximity to the abdominal cavity A femoral artery puncture could produce extensive bleeding into the retroperitoneal cavity, behind the abdomen. Accessing the heart through a blood vessel in the wrist transradial catheterization is a form of cardiac catheterization in which doctors use the radial artery, located in the wrist, as a pathway to diagnose and treat many conditions, including coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease
The advantages of the procedure include: During cardiac catheterization, we thread a catheter (thin, flexible tube) through an artery or vein that leads to your heart In most cases, we can insert the catheter through a blood vessel in your wrist This radial approach is less painful and requires less downtime than inserting a catheter through a vein in your groin (femoral approach).
Reaching your heart through your wrist the george washington university hospital is one of a few local centers offering an innovative procedure, that may be more comfortable for patients, called transradial cardiac catheterization.
Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure that uses flexible, hollow tubes (catheters) to access the heart and blood vessels In cardiac catheterization (heart catheterization), an interventional cardiologist places a catheter through a blood vessel in your wrist or groin and uses imaging to guide it to the blood vessels in your heart We may use cardiac catheterization to.
