Abstract

Invasive treatment of acute coronary syndromes improved prognosis, while increasing the risk of vascular complications and bleeding. The recently published study show that radial approach compared to femoral access improves hemostatic efficacy, reduces major bleedings and local complications. Radial approach is more comfortable for the patient and reduces immobilization time. The advantage of radial approach for invasive treatment of acute coronary syndromes has been demonstrated in clinical trials and has found its place in the recently published guidelines.
