Coronary Artery Disease
Transulnar catheterization: The road less traveled
Conflict of interest: Nothing to report.
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.
