| Video Discription | Interventional cardiologist Dr. John Wang, chief of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, walks through an actual transradial cardiac catheterization procedure. For many patients, cardiac catheterization can be performed through the radial artery in the wrist, instead of using an artery in the groin. Traditionally, the femoral artery in the groin is used to access the heart because it is a larger artery that allows for a larger, more easily maneuvered catheter. But after a quick, non-invasive test in the catheterization lab to be sure that there is sufficient collateral blood flow to the hand, Dr. Wang easily makes access using the same coronary arteries through the wrist as during a femoral catheterization procedure. If the patient's condition indicates a need for a stent, this can be done through the wrist as well. The procedure is more comfortable for patients and allows them to sit up and move around soon after.
