Abstract
Since the first series of coronary angiographies through the radial approach reported by Campeau in 1989, the radial route has become a major approach, used in up to 95Â % of PCIs in some centers. As documented by this clinical case, and although registries show that the radial approach is underused in women compared to men, women benefit from the radial approach mainly by reducing the bleeding risk. Indeed, despite more frequent difficulties encountered by using this approach in women, the radial approach has to be preferred because it reduces haemorrhagic complications and death in comparison to the femoral route.
