RADIAL ACCESS AND PREVENTION OF BLEEDING (jolly et al, AHJ 2009, n = 4458 )
DOES PREVENTION OF ACCESS SITE BLEEDING IMPROVE OUTCOME(MORTAL study, Heart 2008, n=38,872)
ACCESS SITE PREFERENCE IN PATIENTS INVESTIGATED BY BOTH RADIAL AND FEMORAL ROUTE
WHAT ABOUT PROCEDURAL SUCCESS RATES Rao et al, JACC 2008
RADIAL ACCESS IN 2010 • Limits access site bleeding (meta analysis RCT) • Comparable success rates to femoral access • Preferred by patients • Saves money • Reduces nursing care needs • Prevents death (observational trials) • Medico-legal benefits
RADIAL ACCESS; THE FUTURE • Optimised radial specific kit and protocols • Miniaturisation of equipment • Guiding catheter innovations • Renal protection • Combine radial access with optimal antithrombotic therapy to minimise bleeding risk
