A novel approach to reduce radial artery occlusion after transradial catheterization: Postprocedural/prehemostasis intra‐arterial nitroglycerin

Abstract

The administration of nitroglycerin at the end of a transradial catheterization, reduced the incidence of RAO, examined 1 day after the radial procedure by ultrasound. Postprocedural/prehemostasis pharmacologic regimens may represent a novel target for further investigation to reduce RAO.
