Four hundred and thirteen patients were studied by the brachial arteriotomy "Sones" approach and 478 by the percutaneous femoral artery "Judkins" approach. The two groups were comparable in sex and age distribution as well as in the relative number of high-risk patients with severe coronary artery disease. The important overall complication rates are listed below.These data show only a higher prevalence of local arterial complications in the bracial arteriotomy approach. All other complications and morbidity... This content is PDF only. To continue reading please click on the PDF icon. Author, Article, and Disclosure InformationAffiliations: Miami, Fla.
