It is both possible and safe to perform coronary angiography through the same radial artery, after retrograde recanalization of radial artery occlusion, following a previous coronary angiography

ConclusionIn patients with RAO because of a previous angiographic intervention via their radial arteries may be reintervened from their occluded radial artery safely and effectively. So, our procedure is not intended for neither the recanalization nor keeping the patency of the radial artery, but suitable for those patients in whom other routes of intervention are not wanted.
