AN UPDATED COMPREHENSIVE META-ANALYSIS OF RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS COMPARING RADIAL VERSUS FEMORAL ACCESS FOR PERCUTANEOUS INTERVENTIONS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME

Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated that radial access reduces bleeding complications compared with a femoral approach without affecting the mortality of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, a recent
