He noted that more and more operators are using routine ultrasound to assess vessel diameter, and if the ulnar is shown to be larger than the radial ... the ulnar artery should ideally be done from ...

The radial artery (Panel A, yellow arrow) is shown in the transverse orientation along with associated veins (white arrows). The application of light pressure with the ultrasound probe results in ...

To TCTMD, Grundmann said the radial artery, especially in older patients, might have a greater degree of tortuosity. In all patients, ultrasound guidance is necessary to guide the radial puncture and ...

which ultrasound guidance can ease, and patient selection is important, he said. Some 85 patients were excluded from participation due to insufficient palpable pulse or radial artery size.

The second step is using ultrasound guidance to measure radial artery diameter, which indicates to the operator what size of sheath should be used. For example, the outer diameter of a standard 6F ...
