Transradial access for coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures: Consensus statement and recommendations for India: Advancing Complex CoronariES Sciences through TransRADIAL intervention in India – ACCESS RADIAL™: Clinical consensus recommendations in collaboration with Cardiological Society of India (CSI). Indian Heart Journal. 2018 Nov; 70(6): 922-9330019-4832http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/191643Radial access for cardiac catheterization and intervention in India has been growing steadily over the last decade with favorable clinical outcomes. However, its usage by interventional cardiologists varies greatly among Indian operators and hospitals due to large geographic disparities in health care delivery systems and practice patterns. It also remains unclear whether the advantages, as well as limitations of transradial (TR) intervention (as reported in the western literature), are applicable to developing countries like India or not. An evidence-based review involving various facets of radial procedure for cardiac catheterization, including practical, patient-related and technical issues was conducted by an expert committee that formed a part of Advancing Complex CoronariES Sciences through TransRADIAL intervention (ACCESS RADIAL™) Advisory Board. Emerging challenges in redefining TR management based on evidence supporting practices were discussed to formulate these final recommendations through consensus.ChallengesRadial accessTransradial interventionTransradial consensusJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI), IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Madras Medical Mission, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Holy Family Hospital, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Beach Candy Hospital, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Ruby Hall Clinic, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Apollo Hospital, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, G.B.
