Abstract
Patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery represent a high-risk population with specific challenges to transradial access ,especially with saphenous vein grafts (SVG)intervention. In this chapter we review several specific problems related to cannulation of bypass grafts for diagnostic and intervention purposes through the radial artery. We also provide specific technical “tips and tricks” that might be helpful to overcome most common difficulties.
