This retrospective study compares the performance of transradial diagnostic procedures using the single versus Judkins catheter approach. The Judkins approach had a 15% lower patient radiation exposure than single catheter approach while fluoroscopy time was comparable. Future studies of comparing such techniques may always be limited by operator preference, experience, and comfort.
