PG - 108-114 LID - S1443-9506(20)30402-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.hlc.2020.06.023 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Radial access reduces bleeding and is associated with improved survival following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We evaluated the association between sex, markers of body size and radial access, and its impact on bleeding and mortality following PCI for ACS. METHODS AND RESULTS: From 2013-2016, consecutive patients treated with PCI for ACS across 30 centres were prospectively entered into the Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry and followed for 30 days. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyse predictors of the primary endpoint of PCI access site and secondary endpoints of major bleeding and mortality. A total of 16,330 ACS patients (40.9% ST elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI]) underwent PCI (23.5% female). Women were older with significantly lower weight and height compared to men. Women had lower radial access use (41.6% versus 51.0%, p<0.001), with higher 30-day major bleeding (2.4% versus 1.4%, p<0.001) and mortality (4.4% versus 3.4%, p<0.001) than men. Female sex independently predicted lower radial access use (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.68-0.83, p<0.001) while body surface area, height and body mass index did not. Female sex was an independent predictor of higher 30-day major bleeding (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.05-1.81, p=0.019) and mortality in STEMI patients (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.01-1.70. p=0.039). Radial access was associated with lower major bleeding (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.53-0.91, p=0.009) and mortality (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.48-0.75, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Radial access, despite being associated with lower bleeding and mortality, was used less frequently in women, independent of co-morbidities and objective markers of body size.
