Transradial-Transfistula Access for Cardiac Catheterization in Patients With Abandoned Hemodialysis Fistulas.

ABSTRACT: Guidelines consider radial access a relative contraindication in patients with end-stage renal disease as part of a vessel preservation strategy. Radial access distal to a hemodialysis fistula, what we term transradial-transfistula access, offers a solution to radially access this population without affecting their vessel preservation plan. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
