Identifying a better strategy for ad hoc percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with anticipated unfavorable radial access: the Little Women study

Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) offers important advantages over transfemoral PCI, including better outcomes. However, when there is indication to ad hoc PCI, a 6 French workflow is a common default strategy, hence potentially influencing vascular access selection in patients wi...

Description
Summary:Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) offers important advantages over transfemoral PCI, including better outcomes. However, when there is indication to ad hoc PCI, a 6 French workflow is a common default strategy, hence potentially influencing vascular access selection in patients with anticipated small size radial artery. A multidimensional evaluation was performed to compare two ad hoc interventional strategies in women
