Transradial artery access for percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with lower
bleeding and vascular complications than transfemoral artery access, especially in patients …

The transradial approach (TRA) for coronary angiography and interventions is increasingly
utilized around the world. Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most common significant …

Background—The prognostic impact of site-specific major bleeding complications after
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has yielded conflicting data. The aim of this study …

Importance The evolution of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has led to improved
safety and efficacy, such that overnight observation can be avoided in some patients. We …

Background: Prior studies of radial access for cardiac catheterization have focused on early
adopters of the technique, and some have described a risk/treatment paradox of low radial …

Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion guidelines correctly promote a general restrictive
transfusion approach for anemic hospitalized patients. Such recommendations have been …

Background—Whether increasing use of radial access has improved percutaneous
coronary intervention outcomes remains unknown. We sought to determine the relationship …

Background—The radial artery is increasingly adopted as the primary access site for cardiac
catheterization because of patient preference, lower bleeding rates, cost effectiveness, and …

Objectives: This study assessed whether the choice of vascular access site influenced
outcomes among non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients …

Transradial access (TRA) for diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) has been used in clinical practice for over 25 years (1, 2). Early …
