Vascular complications and access crossover in 10,676 transradial percutaneous coronary procedures

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Randomized trials have shown that transradial approach, compared with transfemoral, reduces vascular complications (VCs) of coronary procedures in selected patients. Yet, radial approach is associated to a variety of access-site VC as well as to a higher failure rate compared with femoral access.
