Highlights •RAO remains the most frequent post-procedural complication of transradial access, restricting the use of the same radial artery for future procedures, as a conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting or for arteriovenous fistula creation in patients requiring hemodialysis. •The real-world reported incidence of RAO remains high, with wide variability in the uptake of RAO prevention strategies. •The paper reviews the main recent advances in the field of RAO prevention and provides a series of expert recommendations to prevent RAO. •This consensus document is meant to provide guidance to increase the adoption of simple and effective methods to achieve an institutional rate of RAO
