Efficacy and safety of "coronary artery bypass graft angiography" with right transradial access versus left transradial access and femoral access: a retrospective comparative study

Abstract Objective: Over the past 10 years, the rate of patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has increased twofold in cases of coronary angiography. Today, transradial access is the first choice for coronary angiography. We aimed to compare the efficacy and reliability...
