The document describes the results of a study evaluating a new transradial approach for transcatheter mitral valve repair. Some key points: - 140 patients were consecutively enrolled with variable mitral regurgitation severity from 2+ to 4+. - All patients received a vasodilator and standard heparin cocktail applied after sheath removal with the same protocol for set up and removal, allowing radial artery flow. - Radial artery occlusion occurred in only 1.4% of patients, explaining the early radial artery occlusion by using a device allowing patent hemostasis according to the least necessary pressure applied.
