Patient preference: An important emerging factor in operator access site selection

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Patient preference should emerge as a third component influencing radial versus femoral access for cardiac catheterization.
Ideally dually experienced “switch‐operators” will consider co‐morbidities, technical procedural factors, and patient preferences to choose a tailored approach with each patient.
A tailored and tempered three component approach to access selection which includes patient preferences will likely optimize patient‐centered outcomes.
