Key result
Transradial intervention for primary PCI in AMI patients resulted in fewer vascular complications (p<0.01) and shorter hospital stays (p<0.001) compared to the transfemoral approach.
Why the study?
Does the transradial approach reduce vascular complications and improve procedural success compared to the transfemoral approach in Chinese patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI?

p-value: p=<0.01
In Chinese patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI, the transradial approach is as effective as the transfemoral approach but significantly reduces vascular complications and hospital length of stay.
Hou et al. (2010) conducted an RCT in Acute myocardial infarction (n=200). Transradial intervention vs. Transfemoral intervention was evaluated on Vascular complications (p=<0.01). Transradial intervention for primary PCI in AMI patients resulted in fewer vascular complications (p<0.01) and shorter hospital stays (p<0.001) compared to the transfemoral approach.
