Impact of access site choice on outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstrakt

The aim of our meta-analysis was to determine a potencial benefit of radial approach in primary PCI for STEMI. We analyzed 8 studies with 8 131 patients undergoing primary PCI via transradial and transfemoral approach.

Transradial access was associated with reduced mortality and MACCE at 30 days. Randomized controlled trials are needed to better assess this association.
