Key Points Transulnar is a reasonable alternative to transradial access. This meta‐analysis shows that the transulnar route is as safe as transradial, but may be more difficult to successfully perform. Ultrasound imaging can determine whether the radial or ulnar route would be preferable in a particular patient.
