RAO may be asymptomatic due to extensive collateralization of the hand through the palmar arch and forearm arterioles which prevent hand ischemia, nonetheless, it eliminates the ability to reuse the radial artery for future purposes. :( https://t.co/nsjjr

Incidence and predictors of radial artery occlusion (RAO) after transradial coronary catheterization: RAO occurred in ~30% the transradial technique. RAO is “Achilles’ heel” of #RadialFirst approach. There’s room for preventing RAO. https://t.co/nsjjrN
