## Abstract In addition to lead shielding, increased distance between the operator and xβray source will lower radiation exposure. To utilize this principle, we interposed a 24 in. piece of pressure tubing between the catheter used for coronary angiography and the manifold apparatus. Radiation expo
## Abstract Aim: Transradial coronary procedures are associated with decreased vascular access site complications and other benefits compared to the femoral approach. There is some concern however about highβrecorded radiation doses for interventional cardiologists using the transradial route. We t
