2025年2月4日 · On the procedural front, the guideline stresses the importance of the radial approach over a femoral approach for PCI in patients with ACS to reduce the risk of bleeding, vascular complications and death. Reflecting the latest evidence, intravascular imaging to guide the PCI procedure is now a class 1 recommendation. In addition, the guideline ...

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ACS (acute coronary syndrome) is a life-saving procedure used to treat coronary artery blockages, but it does have potential risks. Understanding these risks is not only essential for both healthcare providers and patients to ensure prompt recognition and effective healthcare management.
