Comparison of radial access versus femoral access with the use of a vascular closure device for the prevention of vascular complications and mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention.
CONCLUSION: In this large all-comers PCI population, the radial approach, compared to the femoral approach with VCD use (Angio-Seal), was independently associated with a reduction of vascular complications, but not with lower mortality rates.
