[A case, a review: We have to promote radial approach for acute coronary syndrome].
This overweight woman's case, who underwent a primary coronary intervention for STEMI, reminds us how much the trans-radial angioplasty is interesting in this particular case leaning on the recent literature, randomized trials and registries, in terms of major adverse events reduction including mortality. We are going to debate about hesitation of using radial approach whose only everyday's practising could make this approach a STEMI one.
