Transradial Approach
Supporting interventionalists to transition from transfemoral to transradial access
Supporting interventionalists to transition from transfemoral to transradial access
The first dedicated multidisciplinary solution focusing on the essential challenges associated with the radial approach, facilitating interventionalists to transition safely and effectively from transfemoral access (TFA) to transradial access (TRA). Evidence shows that TRA poses a significantly lower risk for vascular complications than transfemoral, e.g. lower bleeding and mortality and offers other benefits such as improved patient comfort and satisfaction, shorter length of stay, which leads to reduced hospital costs.
This approach comes with a considerable learning curve associated with challenging anatomical variations and the consequent procedural complications. Complementing high-fidelity simulation-based training with e-learning delivered by the Mentice Learning Center can shorten the learning curve. This solution aims at supporting interventionalists to become equally proficient and confident with TRA - making it a more adopted approach in their daily practice.
