About The Radial Access Center on Angioplasty.Org
To assist in educating the professional and patient population in the U.S.
about the this technique, Angioplasty.Org has created the "Radial
Access Center for Transradial Approach", a special section devoted
to information and news about the transradial technique, for both patients
and physicians. The Radial Center features interviews with leading practitioners
of the radial technique, such as Drs. Jeffrey Popma, R. Lee Jobe, John Coppola,
Shigeru Saito, Kirk Garratt, Tak Kwan and Howard Cohen.
For patients there is also a "Hospital
Locator" that lists U.S. centers practicing radial angiography.
As Dr. Howard Cohen of Lenox Hill Hospital in New York says of
the wrist technique, "Patients really prefer it. 95% of
people who've had it both ways would say 'I'm coming back to
you, Dr. Cohen because I like this transradial a lot better than
the other way!'
