Abstract
Procedures involving access to right side of the heart are typically performed from the internal jugular vein or, more commonly, the femoral vein. With the increasing adoption and use of the radial artery approach for left-sided cardiac catheterization, use of the brachial vein for right-sided cardiac procedures is gaining increased popularity as well due to its unique advantages. We describe a series of cases illustrating the safe and effective use of the brachial vein for several common procedures and appropriate techniques.
