3. Weighing Benefits and Risks of
Transradial Access in STEMI
Benefits
• Less access site bleeding
• Ability to anticoagulate more
aggressively?
• Earlier ambulation
• Patient comfort
Risks
• Longer door-to-balloon times
• Longer procedures
• More contrast
• Longer fluoro times
10. Does reducing door-to-balloon time still
improve outcomes?
•No significant association between
annual decreases in DTB time and
in-hospital mortality (odds ratio for
10 min reduction in DTB time: 1.04,
95% CI: 0.99 – 1.14).

11. Thought Experiment
If radial PCI is associated with a delay in door-to-balloon
time in STEMI, how much of a delay would be acceptable for
patients to still benefit from transradial PCI?
Wimmer et al. Am Heart J. 2014.
12. How much delay in DTB time would
offset the mortality benefit of transradial
PCI in RCTs?
Wimmer et al. Am Heart J. 2014.
13. It may be worth the extra time
83 minutes of delay in DTB
time offsets the RCT mortality
benefit of transradial PCI
Wimmer et al. Am Heart J. 2014.
14. 83 minutes of delay in DTB
time offsets the RCT mortality
benefit of transradial PCI
21 minutes of delay

It may be worth the extra time
16. Conclusions
• A transradial delay of 83.0 minutes was needed to
offset the mortality benefit of transradial PCI.
• When the mortality benefit of transradial PCI was one-quarter
that observed in RCTs, the delay associated
with equivalent mortality was 20.9 minutes.
• Results were robust to changing multiple assumptions
and have implications for operators reluctant to
transition to transradial PCI in STEMI
18. Conclusions
• If the mortality benefit (or even a fraction of this
benefit) of transradial intervention observed in RCTs is
true, it would be the preferred approach even if this led
to delays in DTB time.
• Integrating the ability to comfortably perform
transradial PCI for STEMI should be a goal for all
interventionalists, as this is the population that will
derive the greatest benefit from the approach.
• Our goal should be to integrate multiple effective
interventions in the care of our patients at the same
time.
