Abstract

Haematoma, dissection, local site granuloma, and persistent radial artery occlusion are few of the complications of conventional transradial access. The distal radial artery located in the "fossa radialis or anatomical snuffbox" on the dor¬sal side of the hand may be an attractive alternative to conventional radial stick. Here, we report a case of a 47-year-old diabetic male who presented with retrosternal chest pain and sweating of 2-hours duration, and diagnosed as acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention of culprit right coronary artery was performed through right transradial approach using fossa radialis (dorsal Transradial).
