KOREAN CIRCULATION JOURNAL
The feasibility of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of ULMCA via distal radial approach, called snuffbox approach, is concerned. Kiemeneij1) reported procedures with 6 French catheters were performed for simple and complex lesion over half of all study patients and there is no puncture trauma and no major bleeding.
