Abstract
NSTEMI patients, in comparison to STEMI patients, are more at risk of bleeding, access site complication and MACE after PCI during index hospitalization. Because they get, multiple adjuvant anti-thrombotic agents before PCI than do the STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI. Transradial access (TRA) is proven to decrease those adverse in-hospital outcomes compared to transfemoral access (TFA) in STEMI patients. But very few studies were conducted in this regard considering NSTEMI patients. We observed prospectively the adverse in-hospital outcomes of total 180 NSTEMI patients who had undergone PCI through TRA (Group I = 80) and TFA (Group II = 100) during index hospitalization between October 2017 to September 2018 in National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (NICVD), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Samples were selected purposively. Patients were followed up 2 hours after PCI and thereafter every day until discharge. Demographic and risk factor variables were almost same in both groups. TRA, compared with TFA, yielded less major bleeding (0% versus 3%, p=0.12) which was statistically non-significant. Minor bleeding was significantly less in Group I (2.5% versus 13.0%, p=0.04). Overall bleeding was also significantly less in Group I (2.5% and 10.0%; p=0.002). Access site complication was non-significantly less in Group I (0% versus 1%, p=0.91). TRA caused non-significant reduction in MACE (2.5% versus 5%; p=0.38) but significant reduction of total adverse in-hospital outcome (5% versus 20%, p=0.006%). In this study TRA seems to have less adverse in-hospital outcome than TFA in NSTEMI patients undergoing PCI during index hospitalization.
