The RETRY protocol effectively recanalizes radial artery occlusion (RAO) using distal radial access and drug-coated balloons. This innovative approach demonstrates high technical success and safety for restoring radial artery patency.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Interventions
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Cardiology
Background:
- Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is a common complication following transradial access procedures.
- Current revascularization protocols for RAO lack standardization, leading to varied techniques across institutions.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
