AB  - A well-established body of evidence demonstrating the advantages of a transradial 
      approach for coronary angiography and intervention has led to worldwide adoption 
      of this technique. In some countries, radial access has replaced femoral access 
      as the dominant access site for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). More 
      recently, numerous randomized controlled trials have compared transradial and 
      transfemoral access in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) 
      and have shown that transradial access is associated with lower mortality and 
      less major bleeding. This review examines the advantages of transradial primary 
      PCI for STEMI patients, addresses concerns in adopting this approach for primary 
      PCI, and reviews recommendations on how to start a transradial primary PCI 
      program.
