Summary

Increased use of radial access for cardiac catheterization is being advocated because studies have showed lower arterial access related complication rates and higher patient satisfaction as compared to femoral access. However, little is known on patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). The RADIAL CABG Trial is a randomized-controlled trial proposed to test the hypothesis that bypass graft angiography and intervention via radial access provides lower vascular complication rates, similar contrast and equipment utilization and higher patient satisfaction when compared with transfemoral approach.
