European guidelines suggest a radial access route should be used for all percutaneous procedures

摘要

A new European consensus discussing percutaneous coronary intervention procedures has recommended that all patients should now be treated via the radial access route if at all possible. The document, which was developed by the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions, the Acute Cardiovascular Care Association and the Working Group on Thrombosis of the European Society of Cardiology, was published online in the journal Eurolntervention.
