May support transradial access to reduce bleeding in STEMI primary PCI; leaves open randomized confirmation of mortality benefit.
Amoroso et al. (2010) conducted a review in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Transradial approach (TRA) for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) was evaluated. Transradial approach for primary percutaneous coronary intervention in STEMI appears safe and feasible, potentially reducing vascular access bleeding complications and improving morbidity and mortality.
