To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of distal left radial (dLR) access in coronary procedures at a tertiary center in Trinidad and Tobago.
An observational, retrospective study will be carried out. Roughly 111 patients were registered at EWMSC and Cardiac Angiograms were done via approached through the left radial access between January 2020 and June 2021 at EWMSC. However since 2021 Cardiac Angiograms were also done via the anatomical snuff box. This study seeks to compare the results of Cardiac Angiograms vs Left Radial Access and the Anatomical Snuff box.
