More about this episode
Dr. Singh shares how he began incorporating radial-to-peripheral procedures into his practice after fellowship and how his experience with radial coronary access translated naturally to peripheral interventions. The group reviews access strategy, including right versus left radial selection, along with techniques for preventing and managing radial spasm. They also touch on staff workflow and training when introducing R2P into the lab. The episode closes with practical insights on case selection for operators new to the approach, the role of pedal access in selected CTO cases, and strategies for safe sheath removal and hemostasis.
