The transulnar approach has been proposed as a safe alternative to the more established transradial approach for cardiac catheterization. However, no study has assessed the anatomy and variability of the ulnar artery using angiography.

Although visual assessment of stenosis severity is routinely used to guide coronary revascularization, there are concerns about its accuracy, especially in women, who present a higher variability in coronary anatomy and ischemic heart disease.
