Overview
Pre-registration closes Thursday, April 24, 2025 at 10:00 am. On site registration will be available.

Traditionally associated with coronary interventions, radial access is now gaining traction across a spectrum of non-coronary interventions. The radial approach, which involves accessing the arteries of the wrist or forearm, offers distinct advantages, such as reduced access-site complications, enhanced patient comfort, and the potential for same-day discharge. Emerging clinical research also encompass innovative technologies and refined procedural techniques, advancing radial access towards the standard of care and first-line approach for many non-coronary interventions. These concepts signify a transformative era in interventional medicine.

To navigate this evolving landscape, practitioners must overcome unique challenges associated with implementing radial access procedures. One significant challenge lies in the learning curve associated with mastering radial access techniques for a diverse range of procedures. Providers transitioning from femoral to radial access must navigate unique anatomical considerations and procedural complexities. In addition, clinicians may face challenges in recognizing and managing complications, such as vascular injury or thrombosis. Lastly, physicians must develop strategies for patient selection, considering anatomical variations and comorbid conditions to ensure procedural success while minimizing the risk of complications.

While radial access holds great promise for non-coronary interventions, several challenges need to be addressed for its optimal implementation. This activity will provide practitioners with the latest procedural techniques, and the knowledge and skills necessary to overcome the challenges associated with adopting radial access across diverse non-coronary interventions, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and advancing the practice of interventional medicine

Target Audience
This activity is designed for practitioners who employ image-guided minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in patients with peripheral vascular, visceral and neurovascular disease.

Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  1. Define the current applications of radial access beyond coronary interventions, including peripheral vascular, visceral, and neurovascular procedures
  2. Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of radial access in various non-coronary interventions
  3. Gain proficiency in standardized procedural techniques for non-coronary interventions using radial access
  4. Implement best practices to optimize procedural success and minimize complications associated with radial access
  5. Identify potential challenges and complications associated with radial access in non-coronary interventions
  6. Develop strategies to mitigate and manage complications effectively, ensuring optimal patient safety and outcomes
  7. Evaluate patient selection criteria and make evidence-based decisions regarding the appropriateness of radial access for specific non-coronary interventions
  8. Review the current research and ongoing clinical trials related to radial access in non-coronary interventions
