Patient Characteristics and Outcomes of Radial to Femoral Access-Site Crossover
The video panel discussion featuring Cindy Grines, MD, MSCAI, Revathy Sampath-Kumar, MD, Ian Gilchrist, MD, MSCAI, Michel Le May, BSc, MD, and Pradyumna Tummala, MD highlights the findings of the study published in JSCAI. The study found that radial to femoral access-site crossover (RFC) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was associated with higher short-term mortality and bleeding complications compared to radial access (RA). Independent predictors of RFC included age greater than 70 years, vasopressor support, and dialysis dependence. Read the article in JSCAI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jscai.2024.102450
