This report descibes heart catheterisation from left transradial approach in a patient with unstable angina pectoris. He underwent previous
surgical revascularization wih the utilization of bilateral mammarian arteries. Although left transradial approach is not described in
such cases, this diagnostic procedure was performed this way and subsequently followed by the intervention of left anterior descendent
(LAD) without any complications, with commonly used equipment and with good angiographic and clinical results. However, due to
its character and the demanding procedural parameters (fluoroscopy, contrast media consumption) this technique is presumably still
going to be rare even in the future.
