Brief Summary

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention represents the gold standard for the treatment of ST-segment-elevation acute myocardial infarction. However, periprocedural bleedings are associated with an increased risk of mortality, re-infarction, and stroke. Although the prognostic value of access site related bleeding complications is still debated, transradial approach is associated with better short-term outcomes and reduced hospital stay as compared to transfemoral approach. The investigators aimed to compare transradial approach with transfemoral approach with systematic achievement of hemostasis by the implantation of a vascular closure device in a national multicentre randomized clinical trial.

  • Pregnancy;
  • Chronic use of vitamin K antagonists or direct thrombin inhibitors, or oral Xa-factor antagonists;
  • Hypersensitivity to antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant drugs;

  • Uncontrolled systemic hypertension;
  • Cardiogenic shock;
  • Previous myocardial revascularization surgery with ≥ 1 internal mammary or radial artery graft;
  • Documented chronic peripheral arterial disease preventing the use of the femoral technique;

PARALLEL
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Major vascular access site complications48 hours post-procedure

Major vascular complications related to arterial access site will be evaluated during hospitalization by physical examination and duplex ultrassonography and include major bleeding, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, compartment syndrome, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, limb ischemia or need for vascular surgery repair.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Device success48 hours post-procedure

The success of the device is defined as the attainment of adequate hemostasis at the end of the procedure, without the need to apply other compression methods.
