Influence of access site choice on incidence of neurologic complications after percutaneous coronary intervention
Conclusion: These results suggest that radial access is not associated with an increased risk of clinically detected NCs, even during a period when there was a rapid evolution in the preferred access site for PCI in the United Kingdom. These are reassuring results, particularly for operators embarking on a change to radial access for PCI.
