Left vs Right Radial Approach in the Setting of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction

Transradial Approach, Primary PCI, ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Clinical Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Outcomes of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are directly related to reperfusion time. Effect of transradial approach (left vs right) on reperfusion time has not been fully studied for SETMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this study was to randomly investigate the efficacy and safety of left radial approach for primary PCI in STEMI patients compared with right radial approach.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators will enroll consecutively for 3 years all STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.

Patients will be included within 12 hours of symptom onset for primary PCI. Patients will be excluded if they are in cardiogenic shock. ;
