Abstract
The choice of a transradial or transfemoral approach remains a pivotal decision in percutaneous coronary angioplasty. We discuss here the varying criteria leading to a rational choice in the arterial access choice. Since the emergent transradial approach in France has led to a dramatic reduction in local vascular complications, we also discuss the remaining place of femoral approach and the usefulness of femoral percutaneous closure devices.
