Our study on radial artery PCI use in the US, out in European Heart Journal - Radial PCI now over 60% of all PCI - Significant provider variation remains - In IV analysis, radial reduced death and major bleeding, w small Increase in stroke @SmithBIDMC tinyurl.com/vy3f83ek

Update on #RadialFirst in the US by Reza Fazel @rwyeh. > 50% of PCIs now performed via radial access (even more contemporary data suggest >70%). A big success story improving the safety of PCI academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva… @mmamas1973 @nolanjimradial @ehj_ed @ACCinTouch
