ABSTRACT
Background
Transradial (TR) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a preferable PCI route. The complication difference between TR and TF approaches is controversial.
Methods
PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane databases were queried for PCI outcomes of TR TF in STEMI for major cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), major bleeding, and mortality. The odds ratio (OR) was calculated using the random-effect model.
Results
We included 56 studies comprising of 68,733 patients (TR, n = 26,179; TF, n = 42,537). TR-PCI was associated with statistically significant lower odds of MACCE (OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.49–0.88, p-value = 0.005), major bleeding (OR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.32–0.68, p-value<0.001), mortality (OR = 0.59, 95% CI 0.43–0.80, p-value<0.001) at in hospital follow-up. TR-PCI was associated with statistically significant lower MACCE (OR = 0.59, 95% CI 0.43–0.80, p-value<0.001), major bleeding (OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.49–0.68, p-value<0.001), and mortality (OR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.44–0.86, p-value = 0.005) at 30-day follow-up. The same difference was seen at 1-year.
Conclusion
TR-PCI was associated with lower odds of MACCE, major bleeding, and mortality during short- and long-term follow-up.

Highlights
Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention have a better survival benefit and lower complications, including major bleeding and major adverse cardiac events in STEMI population as compared with transfemoral approach during short in-hospital to 30 days follow-up.
The long-term outcomes of clinical efficacy and safety are superior for transradial percutaneous coronary intervention as compared with transfemoral approach for STEMI population.
