Abstract
The percutaneous transradial approach for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention is increasing in the United States. Although its vascular safety profile is better than the traditional femoral approach, it is important to learn about potential complications. In this article, we present two cases of vascular complications, namely, pseudoaneurysm and radial artery occlusion, after transradial cardiac catheterization, along with a review of the relevant literature.
