Transradial access (TRA) has evolved over the last few decades to become the standard approach for coronary angiography and interventions worldwide. Refinements in technique and technology have enabled complex coronary interventions to be completed from the wrist with improved patient outcomes, reduced complications and higher patient satisfaction as compared with transfemoral procedures [1]. Recent interest and research in transradial interventions have focused on the distal radial approach which has potential for improved ergonomics with enhanced patency of the proximal radial artery.
