The Newark (NJ) Star-Ledger (2/8, Augenstein) reports, "Although doctors have been using the so-called transradial method" for cardiac procedures "for about two decades, it has only recently caught on in the US" The Star-Ledger adds, "David Holmes, the president of the American College of Cardiology and a professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, said he expected the wrist approach to become more and more prominent as the technology and the training develops." Dr. Holmes said the method is "clearly being used more and more frequently. Younger cardiologists think of this as a new skill to be learned."
