DISCOVER THE TRI-HERO CHALLENGE
TRI-HERO stands for Trans Radial Intervention HEmostasis pROtocol.
The TRI-HERO Challenge is a joined effort of Terumo Interventional Systems and radial experts with a clear objective: support best practice sharing to achieve patent hemostasis and preserve radial access.
You can either join as a PARTICIPANT or as AUDIENCE:
Make sure to complete your submission before September 30
OUR AMBITION: PRESERVE RADIAL ACCESS
- Radial access has become standard practice in cardiology1,2 and is rising as a safe access with improved clinical outcome for endovascular interventions3.
- Radial Artery Occlusion (RAO) remains the most frequent post procedural complication of radial access, despite the existence of recommendations to prevent periprocedural RAO4.
- Achieving non occlusive or patent hemostasis is one of the key measures to prevent RAO4.
- Keeping the radial artery open is crucial to preserve radial access for future interventions.
