Radial Force Group > Organization
Organization Radial Force / Radial Force Website
The Radial Force has been established in October 1997 on initiative of Dr. F. Kiemeneij after having polled the pioneers of this technique from different centers throughout the world to contribute in the dissimination of their expertise on transradial coronary angioplasty.

Although primarily meant for interested practitioners, by submitting the application form, you are free to become member of the Radial Force which will allow you to receive adequate and actual information on transradial coronary angioplasty.

In order to provide the most updated information, all incoming information will be reviewed by one or more editorial board members. In addition, news from the leading centers will be displayed as soon as possible on this website.

At present the organization of the Radial Force and the website are identical.
