| 1. | The radial artery is the easiest to use to check the heart rate.
|
| 2. | It lies at first slightly lateral to the radial artery, concealed beneath the Brachioradialis.
|
| 3. | Implying this approaches the radial artery occlusion rate has come down to 1.1-1.8 %.
|
| 4. | Major complication associated with a transradial interventions include early and late radial artery occlusion.
|
| 5. | Post PCI radial artery occlusion can be reduced by using smaller diameter catheters and anticoagulation.
|
| 6. | Other common places are the brachial artery, radial artery, popliteal artery, dorsalis pedis, and others.
|
| 7. | This indicates that it may not be safe to cannulate or needle the radial artery.
|
| 8. | The Scaphoid receives its blood supply primarily from lateral and distal branches of the radial artery.
|
| 9. | It is made up of the dorsal carpal branches of both the ulnar and radial arteries.
|
| 10. | Most of the radial artery occlusions are asymptomatic.
