Summary

Outcomes of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are directly related to reperfusion time. Effect of transradial approach (left vs right) on reperfusion time has not been fully studied for SETMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this study was to randomly investigate the efficacy and safety of left radial approach for primary PCI in STEMI patients compared with right radial approach.

Detailed description

The investigators will enroll consecutively for 3 years all STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI. Patients will be included within 12 hours of symptom onset for primary PCI. Patients will be excluded if they are in cardiogenic shock.

Conditions

• Transradial Approach, Primary PCI, ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Left radial approach	Primary PCI performed through left radial approach.
PROCEDURE	Right radial approach	Primary PCI performed through right radial approach.
