CARDIFF, WALES — Although the femoral artery remains a common access point for chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, it's associated with increased risk of access-site complications like bleeding but ...

Increasing utilization of radial access may have the unintended effect of leading to more vascular complications for femoral access due to a loss of experience among operators, researchers say in a ...

After almost 20 years of research in the area of transradial PCI, there was a need for a larger, multicenter, prospective, randomized trial. The potential bias of previous registries, single-center ...

NEW ORLEANS, LA—Operators performing PCI via the femoral artery can rest assured that the procedure causes no more harm than primary PCI performed via the radial artery, according to the results of a ...

Previous small trials have been unable to establish a clinical advantage between coronary angiography via the femoral artery in the groin or the radial artery in the wrist, and there remains ...

Although using the radial artery as the access point for angioplasty has been linked to reduced bleeding compared to use of the femoral artery, only a small number of high-risk heart attack patients ...

Long Beach, Calif. – May 2, 2024 – New data demonstrate the superiority of radial arterial access compared to femoral arterial access for coronary interventions. Findings showed radial access was ...

The radial approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces vascular access site complications when compared with the femoral approach and results in similar success rates. These findings ...

Results showed collared fully hydroxyapatite-coated femoral components had lower rates of postoperative periprosthetic ...

As the evidence grows for the superiority of radial access over femoral access with regard to reducing bleeding events and improving clinical outcomes, the authors discuss the modern approach to ...
