Popis: AIMS In 2017, Kiemeneij published a paper on distal trans-radial artery access for coronary angiography in 62 patients. This paper proposed several advantages to this method. Since this paper was published, several other papers have been published describing this technique, with less than 200 cases in total described. We performed a non randomized control study of left distal trans-radial access in patients undergoing coronary angiography in our center. METHODS We prospectively identified patients presenting for coronary angiography to our center for enrolment in this study. We recruited 94 patients (47 ldTRA, 47 age and sex matched controls). Pre-defined endpoints for the study were as follows: time until radial compression device (RCD) removal, procedural time, radiation dose, fluoroscopy time, and contrast dose. RESULTS Patient and procedural characteristics did not differ significantly between the two groups. With regard to our primary endpoint, patients undergoing ldTRA required, on average, 69 min less time until removal of the RCD (167.8 ± 30 vs 236.6 ± 63.9 min, P
