Core Tip
Core tip: Adaptation of radial access for percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with chronic kidney disease is slower because of concern about contrast-induced nephropathy from the greater contrast load. Data from individual studies vary; therefore we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing the amount of contrast used between radial access and femoral access.
