Abstract

Radial loops are infrequent; however, they are a major cause for failure of radial access for procedure. Interventionists should be familiar with bail-out techniques when a radial loop is encountered to avoid spasm/injury. We describe our experience with two cases with 360 degrees radial loop in which we used low-profile microcatheter system to successfully complete the procedure
