TRAnsition for VALUE: Integrating Atherectomy Into Your TRA cPCI Practice

Adoption of transradial access in the United States has increased several fold over the last decade. As a result, patients can now often be returned to full activity by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with a low risk of procedure-related cardiac events. In numerous studies, radial access has been shown to reduce costs by cutting hospital admissions and length of stay, while also reducing bleeding complications and the need for transfusions. Despite these advantages, data from national registries demonstrate that uptake of radial access and same day discharge is much lower in the US than many other countries.
