Key result
This systematic review provides an overview of distal transradial (snuffbox) access for coronary catheterization, though no specific quantitative results are reported in the abstract.
Why the study?
Distal transradial access in the anatomical snuffbox has emerged as an alternative approach for coronary catheterization with promising advantages that ongoing studies are trying to elucidate.
Systematic Review
Distal transradial (snuffbox) access is an emerging alternative approach for coronary catheterization with promising advantages.
Supports distal transradial access as viable alternative; extends evidence but requires RCTs for routine adoption.
Distal transradial access, through puncture of the radial artery at its course in the anatomical snuffbox, has emerged recently as an alternative approach for coronary catheterization. Several advantages of this approach seem promising and several studies are trying to elucidate its features. This review provides an overview of the snuffbox approach for coronary catheterization and summarizes the key results of the research conducted so far.

Didagelos et al. (2021) conducted a systematic review in Coronary catheterization. Distal transradial (snuffbox) access was evaluated. This systematic review provides an overview of distal transradial (snuffbox) access for coronary catheterization, though no specific quantitative results are reported in the abstract.
