Transradial approach has became a good alternative and, consequently, the preferred approach during both, diagnostic and therapeutic

procedures of stable coronary artery disease in many intervention centers in recent years. It is associated with a reduction of serious

bleeding complications at the puncture site, with faster mobilisation of patients after procedure, with shorter stay in hospital and without

a significant increase in radiation exposure for patients and staff. The logical consequence of this is the increasing number of centers

that prefers radial access even during primary-PCI in treatment of myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation.

Keywords: radial approach, STEMI, complications, comparison radial vs femoral acces
