TCT-420 The fluoroscopy time, door to balloon time, contrast volume use and prevalence of vascular access site failure with transradial versus transfemoral approach in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction: A meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS TR-PCI has a substantial influence on UEF, as was measured with our sensitive score, with 56.8% of the patients having UED after the procedure. Therefore, special attention during follow-up regarding the upper extremity is justified, and should be implemented. Furthermore, there are indications that certain patients might be at higher risk and might benefit from slender radial techniques or, in a specific minor selection, a switch to transfemoral interventions. Our UED outcome might be very sensitive, which could be excellent for assessing the effect of hydrophilic catheter coating and other variables.
