In the late 1990s, a school of Japanese interventional cardiologists began to expound the miniaturization of transradial coronary interventions[51]. They are passionate about downsizing catheters and devices (using sheathless techniques and 4 Fr catheters) in order to minimize vascular trauma, reduce hemostasis time and decrease contrast without compromising performance [52]. National radial clubs have formed to build data and exchange ideas on TRA for coronary and peripheral interventions [53].
