@Tesslagra @lamelaspablo Ultrasound guidance is a must for distal radial access.
It’s important to puncture over the trapezium or scaphoid for best hemostasis.

Thx @SVRaoMD for this #AngioHistory memory. I created our Radial Center (https://t.co/5JUGygveqH) 18 yr ago after I saw my 1st TRA. I'd worked w/Simon Stertzer & knew the brachial cut-down approach had certain advantages over femoral for catheter advancement, but TRA offered those in a simpler, safer method. Thru articles, interviews, posting of training courses, and a radial hospital locator for patients, we promoted this exciting new approach on our site, hoping to aid in some small way in getting the U.S. in line with other countries (only 1.2% radial in the U.S. in 2007). Thx to your work & that of so many others, TRA is now the dominant approach in the U.S.#RadialFirst #CardioTwitter

Here is the bill. Over $250K!!!
And yet, the hospital probably only got $11K.

Anybody know why hospitals bill such outrageous amounts?

A patient showed me her itemized hospital bill for an outpatient LAD PCI.
What is your guess the amount was?

Congratulations @DrTejasPatel1! A pioneer who taught many of us the nuances of #RadialFirst.

[William Suh, MD @willsuh76]

Hey #RadialFirst snuffboxers. I am still using #StatSeal and coban wrap for hemostasis with #ldtra 👍

But I am curious what others are doing?

Please post in reply what you are doing for snuff box hemostasis.

[William Suh, MD @willsuh76]

Friend’s daughter got accepted into NYU medical school (free tuition) and also Yale medical school (no scholarship).
Where should she go to med school?
Please leave the rationale for your choice to help her make a decision.

Fascinating that you had pt sooo anticoagulated and this still happened. Nice work!

@nolanjimradial @richardbogle @evandrofilhobr @DrAsifQasim @mirvatalasnag @RadialFirstBot @aspergian1 @mmamas1973 Use either a power injector or an 8cc syringe to inject contrast and 4f will work on any artery. Can even do FFR with them although OCI not possible at least in USA. Reduces contrast load and trauma to radial or dorsal radial.
