The benefits of the radial approach in coronary interventions have been documented in a variety of studies in recent years. The purpose of this review is to highlight the advantages and limitations of the transradial approach in coronary and non-coronary catheterization and interventions.

Keywords: Radial approach; Bleeding complications; Catheterization; Intervention
