Features: PTCA technology has undergone 26 years of development, and percutaneous coronary intervention via the radial artery has a 10-year history. Due to the significant advantages of radial artery coronary intervention in reducing bleeding complications and vascular injury, eliminating the need for prolonged bed rest, shortening hospital stays, and reducing medical costs, it has now attracted widespread attention from interventional cardiologists. Since its inception, TRI technology has evolved over a brief 10-year period, enabling the performance of almost all procedures previously conducted via the femoral artery, such as Rotoblator technology, DCA technology, IVUS technology, and the use of distal protection devices, which has generated great enthusiasm among interventional cardiologists, particularly young professionals in the field. This book provides a detailed introduction to the background and current status of radial artery coronary intervention, the anatomical features of the radial artery, the basic techniques of radial artery coronary angiography, the selection of TRI equipment and fundamental operation techniques, strategies for managing complex coronary lesions with TRI, the treatment of AMI with TRI, the management of TRI-specific complications, and clinical experience reviews along with nursing-related knowledge. The book is compiled with a focus on distinctive features, supported by abundant clinical and imaging data, through detailed case reviews. Additionally, it offers concise discussions on typical cases from a practical perspective. It is believed that this book will be highly beneficial for clinical medical professionals, especially those working in the field of coronary intervention.
