TRA CAN NOT BE USED FOR LM-PCI
(according to TFA operators)
• Inadequate GC support
• Limitation on use of large diameter GC
• Limitation on availability of adjunctive
technology
• Can not be used in complex/acutely ill
patients
• Compromised outcomes
• Not beneficial to patients

o In contemporary practice in UK, the radial artery is the
predominant access site for LMS-PCI.
o Radial access use was associated with reduced vascular
complications, major bleeding and transfusion, lower in-
hospital MACE and reduced length of stay
oConsistent with pre-existing literature on access site practice
and LM-PCI
CONCLUSIONS
o LMS-PCI cases undertaken via the radial artery were
increasing complex through the study period

o Although access site and outcomes are well defined for unselected PCI
procedures and certain sub-groups, there are few data on access site for patients
undergoing left main stem percutaneous coronary intervention (LMS-PCI)
o The aim of the present study was to address these questions by using the BCIS
National PCI Audit data for 2007 to 2014 to examine access site for LMS-PCI
o Studied temporal changes in national arterial access site practice in patients
undergoing LMS-PCI, defined in contemporary study years the predictors of
access site, and reported procedural and clinical outcomes by access site
Background
30. 30
o Data were analysed from 19,482 LMS-PCI procedures performed in England
and Wales between 2007 and 2014
o Study definitions were used as in the BCIS-NICOR database
o To investigate trends over time linear regression modelling and testing for
the slope of the regression line was performed
o Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors of access site
choice and its association with outcomes. To adjust for missing data we
used multiple imputations with chained equations
Methods I
31. 31
o Individual logistic regressions were done on the imputed data set for each of
the MACE events according to the access site to quantify the independent
association between access site and outcomes
o To adjust for baseline characteristics that might influence outcomes and thus
to attempt to quantify the independent effects of access site on outcomes, we
performed a propensity score analysis with 1:1 propensity matching
o Finally, we performed a further analysis of the multi-variate predictors of 12-
month mortality using multiple imputation to generate 10 complete datasets
and running a Cox-proportional hazard model on each
