We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Dimitri Karmpaliotis. A gifted interventionalist, devoted mentor, and extraordinary human being, his impact on our field, and on all of us who had the privilege to know him, is immeasurable. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.
Do you know your state's regulations regarding radiation exposure/protection for procedures requiring fluoroscopy?
Great study by @anvoramd showing variation across states.

The randomized RAPID trial showed procedural anticoagulation significantly reduces radial artery occlusion (RAO) after diagnostic coronary angiography — including in patients with distal radial access and those on oral anticoagulants. @t_stiermaier@IngoEitel
No RAO benefit seen with distal vs. conventional TRA.
