Brief summary
Comparison of Crossover rates of Radial Cardiac Catheterizations and/or PCIs into femoral vs published literature
Detailed description
A retrospective review of 1000 consecutive Radial or Ulnar Cardiac Catheterizations and/or Percutaneous Coronary Interventions performed in our Institute by one single operator could provide us with the cross over rates to femoral interventions. In this manner these rates could be compared to the published rates of other institutions benchmarking our techniques with the outcomes for such interventions.
