Radial access is shown to have fewer access-related complications when compared to femoral artery access. While two small European studies have examined the feasibility of transradial access for alcohol septal ablations, no reports from the United States have yet been published. We report the case of a 69-year-old male with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who underwent alcohol septal ablation via the right radial artery approach and discuss the technique.
