Purpose:
This study aims to evaluate and quantify the likelihood of common complications following percutaneous coronary intervention procedures performed via femoral and radial access sites.
Conclusion:
When compared to femoral access, radial access reduces the likelihood of experiencing several complications, including major bleeding events, cardiac arrest, cardiac tamponade, cardiogenic shock, stroke, and kidney impairment within 30 days of a percutaneous coronary intervention procedure.
