The study reports our single center experience in transulnar coronary interventions in 122 consecutive cases. Success rate was 85.2%. Vascular complications were low (5.7%) and minor (6 hematomas and 1 pseudoaneurysm treated by compression). Transulnar catheterization is feasible and safe. It represents a useful alternative to the transradial approach in selected cases.
