Cardiac catheterizations are becoming the gold 
standard for the diagnosis, evaluation, and 
treatment of cardiac diseases. Despite the beneficial 
effect of cardiac catheterization in reducing 
morbidity and mortality of the cardiovascular 
disease, this invasive procedure is not free of 
complications. Vascular access-site complications 
remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality 
with cardiac catheterization and percutaneous 
intervention using the femoral approach. Radial 
approach is an alternative to femoral with less 
bleeding complication
