Abstract
Distal transradial access (dTRA) is evolving as a preferred site for coronary angiography and percutaneous interventions (PCI), with potential advantages over the traditional proximal radial approach [ [1] Coomes E. Haghbayan H. Cheema A. Distal transradial access for cardiac catheterization: A systematic scoping review. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2019; 96: 1381-1389 Crossref PubMed Scopus (23) Google Scholar ]. PCI for left main coronary (LMCA) disease in select patients is supported by recently revised consensus guidelines [ [2] Collet J.-P. Thiele H. Barbato E. Barthélémy O. Bauersachs J. Bhatt D.L. et al. ESC Scientific Document Group, 2020 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation: The Task Force for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Eur Heart J. 2020; ehaa575https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehaa575 Crossref Scopus (1363) Google Scholar ] but dTRA has not yet been studied in this cohort.
