Abstract

One hundred and five percutaneous radial-artery cunnulations were prospectively studied in 100 patients. The patients were examined daily for complications, utilizing physical examination and Doppler flow measurements. Forty of the 105 cannulations (38 per cent) resulted in radialartery thrombosis.
