Reply: Digital Gangrene Following Transradial Coronary Angiogram

Abstract

We would like to thank Dr. Santucci and colleagues for their interest in our case report (1) and for raising an important issue regarding the use of Allen’s test before cardiac catheterization using the transradial approach (TRA). The importance of the TRA for patient comfort and same-day discharge post–coronary intervention cannot be overemphasized.
