Objective: This study investigates the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of routine primary percutaneous coronary intervention via transradial approach in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Methods And Results: From 2005 to 2007,122 consecutive patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction within 12 hours, including those experiencing cardiogenic shock, were eligible for primary transradial PCI if the radial artery pulse could be felt. Efficacy, safety, and major adverse cardiac events regarding mortality, recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction, and revascularization were recorded.
