A transradial catheterization, one of the most advanced interventional cardiology procedures available at the hospitals of Adventist HealthCare, uses an artery in the wrist to gain access to heart arteries during cardiac catheterizations.
Interventional cardiologists thread a thin, flexible wire called a catheter, through an artery in the wrist instead of the groin to gain access to the heart.
