Abstract: @@ The use of intense anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy in acute myocardial infarction (AMI)potentially increases the risk of bleeding complications during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via the transfemoral approach. Recently, the transradial access has been increasingly employed as an alternative means for diagnostic and interventional procedures. Low incidence of vascular access site bleeding complications suggests the transradial approach as a safe alternative to the femoral technique in AMI, particularly under an aggressive anticoagulation/antiplatelet regimen. 1,2Nevertheless, the safety and feasibility of employing the transradial approach for primary PCI in AMI has not been thoroughly investigated so far.
