Prediction of radial crossover in acute coronary syndromes: derivation and validation of the MATRIX score.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The radial artery is recommended by international guidelines as the default vascular access in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) managed invasively. However, crossover from radial to femoral access is required in 4-10% of cases and has been associated with worse outcomes. No standardised algorithm exists to predict the risk of radial crossover.
AIMS: We sought to derive and externally validate a risk score to predict …
