Radial artery occlusion after cardiac catheterization and impact of anticoagulation as medical treatment: a meta-analysis
This meta-analysis provides compelling evidence that anticoagulation therapy significantly improves radial artery recanalization rates in patients with RAO without increasing the risk of major bleeding events; however, its effect on symptom resolution remains limited, suggesting the need for a comprehensive approach to RAO management.
