Abstract

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains an important reference modality for evaluating chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), with left transradial access (TRA) increasingly favored for its lower complication rates and patient comfort. Radiation safety for operators is paramount, yet the impact of patient positioning on scatter radiation during lower limb diagnostic catheter angiography (CA) is understudied. This single-center randomized controlled trial evaluated whether head-first (HF) vs. feet-first (FF) supine patient orientation affects operator radiation exposure during lower ex
