Cancer is the second largest cause of death in the United States of America, overall, according to the CDC, clocking in at around 575,691 lives in 2013 alone. Countless people have been affected or know someone who has been affected by cancer, and the search for a cure has been raging on for decades. Renal cancers, or cancer of the kidneys, the two bean shaped organs located to the right and left adjacent to a person’s spine, is the fifth most common form of cancer within the United States, affecting too many, too often.

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and also one of the most preventable. In 2005, the total number of cardiovascular disease deaths had increased globally to 17.5 million from 14.4 million since 1990. Symptoms and triggers of this disease consist of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, diabetes, poor diet, physical inactivity, and obesity. Over time, these risk factors cause changes in the heart and blood vessels that can lead to heart attacks, heart failure, and strokes. By 2013, 614,348 people died in the United States from heart disease, in my opinion that almost sounds like a pandemic.

Abstract In the United States, heart disease is the leading cause of death. Diagnosis and treatment can involve invasive procedures including coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The transfemoral artery approach remains the preferred method for coronary angiography and PCI in the United States despite a growing body of evidence that the use of the transradial approach (TRA) improves patient safety and efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to review the current literature, analyze several pertinent articles comparing cost and vascular complications of the two methods used for PCI, and to discuss the clinical implications of the TRA.
