Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, contrast utilization, and complications of left distal trans-radial artery access compared with conventional right trans-radial artery access in coronary angiography.
Does left distal trans-radial artery access improve feasibility, contrast utilization, and complications compared to conventional right trans-radial artery access in patients undergoing coronary angiography?

lt. dTRA access was associated with procedural trade-offs; leaves open net benefit versus right TRA in randomized trials.
We aimed to evaluate feasibility, contrast utilization and complications of trans-radial approach comparing the left distal trans-radial artery (lt. dTRA) access versus conventional right trans-radial artery (rt. TRA) access in coronary angiography. Subjects and Methods: This study was conducted on (100) patients who underwent coronary angiography (50 patients via lt. dTRA & 50 patients via rt. TRA) and was performed in the department of cardiology, Benha University Hospital. All patients performed ECG, echocardiography, arterial doppler pre and post procedures.
