Radial artery spasm is one of the major problems during transradial coronary intervention (TRI). The sheath introducer with hydrophilic coating may reduce the incidence of spasm and reduce the difficulty in removing it from the radial artery under the situation of spasm artery spasm. After we compar

New long-tip catheters, one for the left and the other for the right coronary artery, were designed specifically for right transradial intervention. We utilized the overbending principle to achieve more precise control of the catheters. We also analyzed principal factors involved to determine guidin
## Abstract Radial artery spasm may cause severe discomfort during radial artery sheath removal. A hydrophilicβcoated sheath may reduce the force required to remove a radial sheath. This force may be quantified using an automatic pullback device (APD). The objective of this study was to assess if a
