Transradial Versus Transfemoral Access for Bifurcation Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stent.

The major study findings were: 1) compared to TFA, TRA was associated with a simple strategy involving less use of the two-stent and FKB techniques; 2) TRA was associated with lower in-hospital adverse outcomes, especially access site complications; 3) TRA and TFA had similar long-term clinical outcomes, despite differences in treatment strategy; and 4) an increasing trend was noted for using TRA for bifurcation PCI.
