Comparison of In-Hospital Outcomes of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients Undergoing Transradial and Transfemoral Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) has been performed traditionally by using femoral approach. Transradial approach has become increasingly popular as it is likely to be less complicating, more comfortable and relatively cost effective having mortality and morbidity benefits. The aim of the study was to compare the in-hospital outcomes of transradial PPCI with that of transfemoral route
