Korean J Intern Med. 2026;41(4):663-675. Published online July 1, 2026
Background/Aims: Distal radial access (DRA) has been associated with fewer access-site complications, but evidence in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains limited. This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of DRA in ACS patients with good arterial pulsation.
Methods: Patients with good arter..

Korean J Intern Med. 2021;36(Suppl 1):S53-S61. Published online March 3, 2020
Background/Aims: Recently, distal radial approach (DRA), called as snuffbox approach, has gained the interest of interventional cardiologists, but there is a lack of data about the feasibility of DRA as an alternative route for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: A total of 1..
