Transradial percutaneous coronary interventions: single-center 15-year experience




Background


Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via transradial approach (TRA) has emerged as an alternative and competitive method compared with transfemoral approach (TFA) for PCI in simple to complex coronary disease. TRA is safe and is associated with a reduced rate of access site or bleeding complications.




Methods


From February 1994 to October 2009, TRA has been attempted in 19,151 consecutive procedures (64.4%) of total 29,734 PCI. We report our experience using the transradial approach for more than 19,000 interventional procedures, its feasibility, safety, and outcome.
