Summary
Transradial cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention are increasingly
being performed worldwide in elective and emergency procedures, with many centres adopting
the transradial route as their first choice of arterial access. One of the most common
complications encountered during transradial procedures is radial artery spasm. The aim of
this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of the use of transdermal Glyceryl
trinitrate patches applied to skin before cardiac catheterization to prevent the occurrence
of radial artery spasm during transradial access cardiac catheterization.
