Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Conventional Versus Distal Transradial (Snuffbox) Access for Coronary Vascular Intervention
dTRA demonstrated comparable procedural efficiency to conventional TRA while offering significant advantages in safety and post-procedural outcomes. The faster haemostasis and reduced incidence of complications, particularly haematoma formation, suggest that dTRA may provide a safer vascular access alternative, minimising patient discomfort and enhancing recovery. Key Words: Transradial access, Distal radial artery access, Snuffbox, Coronary angiography, Coronary angioplasty.
