March 12, 2008 updated by: Hillel Yaffe Medical Center

Transradial access is a recently developed alternative for diagnostic andf interventional cardiac catheterization. We sought to compare the differences between patients that have undergone PTCA transradial and transfemoral access from the nursing point of view:

  1. Anxiety levels
  2. Pain at access point, pain in general and level of pain during mobility
  3. Differences in feelings of embarrassement
  4. Differences in satisfaction
