Primary percutaneous coronary intervention through transulnar approach: safety and effectiveness

Pedro Beraldo de Andrade et al. Marden André Tebet Mônica Vieira Athanazio de Andrade André Labrunie Luiz Alberto Piva e Mattos

The transradial approach is safe and effective for coronary procedures. However, its use may be compromised in cases of variations in radial artery anatomy, spasms, and negative Allen’s test. The transulnar approach emerges as a viable alternative to transradial approach. We report on a patient who underwent primary angioplasty via ulnar artery without ischemic hand complications despite prior occlusion of the ipsilateral radial artery.
