Overview

May aid identification of STEMI patients at risk for TRA-PCI failure; leaves open whether tailored access strategies improve outcomes.

Structured PICO

What are the predictors of transradial approach failure in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI?

P
Population
2020 consecutive patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a tertiary care high-volume radial centre
I
Intervention
Transradial approach (TRA) for primary PCI
C
Comparator
Transfemoral approach (TFA) (primary or crossover)
O
Outcome
Failure of transradial approach (primary transfemoral approach or crossover from TRA to TFA)

A novel 9-variable risk score can accurately predict transradial approach failure in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, identifying a subgroup with higher 1-year mortality.
