Conclusion
•  In patients with STEMI <12 hrs, radial approach was
associated with a significant lower incidence of major
bleeding and access site complications and significant
better net clinical benefit at 30 days.

•  Radial approach also reduced significantly ICU stay and
contrast volume compared to femoral approach.

•  Moreover radial approach was also associated with
significant better net clinical benefit at 1 year.

•  Our results support the use of radial approach in
primary PCI in experienced radial centers as a first
choice.
