In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with rotational atherectomy radial access is safer and as efficient as femoral access

ConclusionsEven though RA is a demanding technique, when performed via TRA allows to maintain the same procedural success and long‐term results in comparison to TFA, reduces in‐hospital major access site bleedings, lowers the amount of contrast media and shortens hospital stay.
