Bokaro: Wellmark Heart Centre has initiated the use of the “Distal” Radial Artery approach for Coronary Angiography, positioning itself as a pioneer in advanced cardiac care. Recognised as the safest and most convenient access method for coronary angiography and intervention, the “Distal” Radial Artery approach is gaining traction for its unique advantages.
“The key feature of this approach lies in its location within the hand, precisely above the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones. This anatomical positioning not only ensures enhanced safety during procedures but also provides structural support when hemostatic compression is applied, contributing to overall patient comfort,” said Dr Satish Kumar, chairman of the Wellmark hospital.
This groundbreaking technique is poised to revolutionise cardiac interventions at Wellmark Heart Centre, offering patients a cutting-edge and minimally invasive option for coronary angiography. The approach’s strategic placement minimises the risk associated with traditional methods, making it a preferred choice for both medical professionals and patients seeking advanced cardiac care, added Dr Satish.
As the Wellmark Heart Centre embraces this innovative approach, it reaffirms its commitment to staying at the forefront of cardiovascular medical advancements, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and experiences. This progressive step marks a significant milestone in the center’s dedication to providing world-class cardiac care services.

The distal radial artery access has the potential to become the safest and most convenient access for coronary angiography and intervention, due to its location in the hand directly above the proximal and distal row of the carpal bones. The bone provides support when hemostatic compression is performed.
