TAKE HOME MESSAGES

  • Sheathless approach is much smaller and matches the smaller arteries on arm and hand perfectly! Less bleeding, less artery occlusion.
  • Sheathless can replace balloon assisted tracking to minimize vessel trauma and risk.
  • Be gentle to upper limb arteries as you are to coronaries.
  • The left main does not know if there is a sheath in the radial.
