Background: Transulnar approach had been suggested for elective procedures in patients not suitable for transradial approach. It is as safe and effective as the transradial approach for coronary angiography and intervention. Objective: To evaluate th, p= 0.029). There was no difference between the two groups concerning puncture time, number of attempts to fix the artery, procedure and fluoroscopy times. Procedural success rate in both groups was (96% versus 90% in group I and II respectively, p= 0.240) with similar frequency of acute complications as spasm, hematoma or hand ischemia. Vascular anomalies as high takeoff and tortuosities encountered more common in the radial as compared to ulnar group, However, did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: Transulnar approach was as safe and feasible as transradial access for coronary procedures with similar technical tactic, success and complication rates. However, because of radial artery was more superficial, transulnar access was a realistic alternative to radial route whenever not attainable
