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.
