Association between the risks of contrast-induced nephropathy after diagnostic or interventional coronary management and the transradial and transfemoral access approaches

摘要

Introduction: The risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) as a common and important complication of coronary procedures may be influenced by the vascular access site. We compared the risks of CIN in diagnostic or interventional coronary management between patients treated via the transradial access (TRA) and those treated via the transfemoral access (TFA).
