In a recent issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Interventions, Lufkin cardiologist, Dr. Steven Feld, describes a technique for heart catheterizations performed from the left wrist using the radial artery. The new approach has been shown to be effective, more comfortable for the patient, and associated with less bleeding complications than a similar procedure performed from the femoral artery in the groin.

  • The doctor who did mine was even able to do it through my left wrist, so I was able to do most things after being released from the hospital. I've had two femoral artery angioplasties, and this was WAY easier on me. MUCH shorter recovery, and no back issues from the sand bag weights!
