Refinement of the femoral puncture technique the secret: do not transfix the artery!
Background: The femoral artery has been the standard access route for several decades. However, this access route has been associated with increased rates of vascular complications compared to the radial artery access route. The objectives of this study were to describe vascular complications at femoral access site after puncture without transfixation of the artery. Methods: This a was real-world registry (from January 2017 to August 2019) that enrolled 1000 patients (mean age 56±10years) with stable CAD and clinical indication of coronary angiography.
