![The three sites most often used for distal radial artery access are the (1) anatomic snuffbox above the scaphoid (left), (2) adjacent to the snuffbox at the trapezium bone (center), and (3) the first intermetacarpal space (right). The author’s preference is either of the first two options, although good outcomes have been reported with use of the intermetacarpal space.](/sites/default/files/styles/content_feed_large/public/field/image/Distal_radial_access_Figure_4_.png?itok=XCGqdxlJ)
