Transradial intervention (TRI) has been widely practiced in China, accounting for approximate 80 to 90% of procedures. A recent meta-analysis indicated that TRI has advantages in reducing major bleeding and ischemic events compared to transfemoral intervention (TFI) after the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, no clinical trial has yet shown statistical equivalence in terms of long-term efficacy of TRI compared with TFI for the treatment of complex coronary lesions, which is simply due to limited numbers of subjects enrolled. The purpose of PREPARE trial is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of TRI versus TFI for PCI in patients with left main (LM) and/or three-vessel coronary artery disease.
