Abstract
TR for PCI in the elderly is associated with a reduced risk of stroke, lower rate of vascular complications overall and a mortality benefit for patients presenting with STEMI. The access site cross rate for TR is higher compared to TF but remains acceptably low. TR should be the preferred strategy for PCI in the elderly to optimize clinical benefit in this high-risk group.
