AIM To compare the amount of contrast used during percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) via trans-radial access(TRA) vs trans-femoral access(TFA).METHODS Scientific databases and websites were searched for:randomizedcontrolledtrials(RCTs). Data were extracted by two independent reviewers and was summarized as the weighted mean difference(WMD) of contrast used with a 95%CI using a random-effects model. RESULTS The meta-analysis included 13 RCTs with a total of 3165 patients. There was no difference between the two strategies in the amount of contrast used(WMD =-0.65 mL,95%CI:-10.94-9.46 mL; P = 0.901). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis shows that in patients undergoing PCI,the amount of contrast volume used was not different between TRA and TFA.
