Key Points If you have transitioned to the radial artery as the preferred approach, congratulations. If you are in training or currently transitioning, good for you, too. Your patient satisfaction scores are going to rise, and complications will be less frequent. If you are still a femoral first, you are as old or older than me, and you should master this approach soon before you retire. Left radial approach is pretty much just like femoral, but with fewer complications.
