In this episode, Dr. Vinoy S. Prasad and Dr. Amr M. Mohsen, MD, describe their utilization of the radial approach for peripheral intervention. They note, "The femoral arteries are the traditional access sites for endovascular interventions of the lower extremities due to convention and experience, as well as limitations of equipment design. However, just as with coronary angiography, transradial access has emerged as a safe and effective alternative for transfemoral endovascular catheterizations and interventions, and the technology is catching up to the need."
