Trans-radial approach (TRA) is recommended over trans-femoral approach (TFA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We intended to study the effect of access on all-cause mortality.
We searched PubMed and EMBASE for randomized studies on patients with ACS undergoing PCI. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at 30-days. The secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular event (MACE) as defined by the study, net adverse clinical event (NACE), non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, stent thrombosis, study-defined major bleeding, and minor bleeding, vascular complications, hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, non-access site bleeding, need for transfusion, access site cross-over, contrast volume, procedure duration, and hospital stay duration. We studied 20,122 ACS patients, including 10,037 and 10,085 patients undergoing trans-radial and trans-femoral approaches, respectively. We found mortality benefit in patients with ACS for the trans-radial approach [(1.7% vs. 2.3%; RR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.62-0.91; P = 0.004; I2 = 0%). Out of 10,465 patients with STEMI, 5,189 patients had TRA and 5,276 had TFA procedures. A similar benefit was observed in patients with STEMI alone [(2.3% vs. 3.3%; RR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.56-0.90; P = 0.004; I2 = 0%). We observed reduced MACE, NACE, major bleeding, vascular complications, and pseudoaneurysms. No difference in re-infarction, stroke, and serious bleeding requiring blood transfusions were noted. We noticed a small decrease in contrast volume(ml) {mean difference (95% CI): -4.6 [-8.5 to -0.7]}, small but significantly increase in procedural time {mean difference (95% CI) 1.2 [0.1 to 2.3]}and fluoroscopy time {mean difference (95% CI) 0.8 [0.3 to1.4] min} in the trans-radial group.
TRA has significantly reduced 30-day all-cause mortality among patients undergoing PCI for ACS. TRA should be the preferred vascular access in patients with ACS.
在接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)的急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者中,经桡动脉入路(TRA)优于经股动脉入路(TFA)。我们旨在研究入路对全因死亡率的影响。
我们在 PubMed 和 EMBASE 上搜索了接受 PCI 的 ACS 患者的随机研究。主要结局为 30 天全因死亡率。次要结局包括住院死亡率、研究定义的主要心脏或脑血管事件(MACE)、净不良临床事件(NACE)、非致死性心肌梗死、非致死性卒中和支架血栓形成、研究定义的大出血和轻微出血、血管并发症、血肿、假性动脉瘤、非入路部位出血、需要输血、入路部位交叉、造影剂体积、手术时间和住院时间。我们研究了 20122 例 ACS 患者,其中 10037 例和 10085 例分别接受经桡动脉和经股动脉入路。我们发现 ACS 患者经桡动脉入路死亡率获益[1.7%比 2.3%;RR:0.75;95%CI:0.62-0.91;P=0.004;I2=0%]。在 10465 例 STEMI 患者中,5189 例患者接受 TRA,5276 例患者接受 TFA 治疗。单独 STEMI 患者也观察到类似的获益[2.3%比 3.3%;RR:0.71;95%CI:0.56-0.90;P=0.004;I2=0%]。我们观察到 MACE、NACE、大出血、血管并发症和假性动脉瘤减少。再梗死、卒中和需要输血的严重出血无差异。我们注意到造影剂体积(ml)有少量减少[平均差异(95%CI):-4.6[-8.5 至-0.7],手术时间[平均差异(95%CI):1.2[0.1 至 2.3])和透视时间[平均差异(95%CI):0.8[0.3 至 1.4] min]有小但显著增加,桡动脉组。
TRA 显著降低了接受 ACS 经皮冠状动脉介入治疗患者的 30 天全因死亡率。TRA 应成为 ACS 患者的首选血管入路。
