Multicenter StudyInterruption of blood flow during compression and radial artery occlusion after transradial catheterization.
To analyze the possible relationship between compression after transradial catheterization and radial artery occlusion. ⋯ Flow-limiting compression is a frequent finding during conventional hemostasis after transradial catheterization. Absence of radial artery flow during compression represents a strong predictor of radial artery occlusion.
