Patients undergoing selective transradial LV-EMB were older compared with patients undergoing selective transfemoral LV-EMB or RV-EMB [transradial LV-EMB: 56.0 (45.0\/64.0) vs. transfemoral LV-EMB: 53 (42.5\/64.5), P = 0.455; transradial LV-EMB: 56 (45.0\/64.0) vs. RV-EMB: 53 (42.5\/64), P = 0.695] and presented more often in New York Heart Association-functional class III and IV. A total of eight major complications including permanent atrioventricular block requiring pacemaker implantation, pericardial tamponade necessitating pericardiocentesis, stroke and transient cerebral ischaemic attack as well as severe valvular damage, vascular access site complications, and ventricular fibrillation were documented with no significant differences between the groups (8\/514, 1.5%). Minor complications such as transient chest pain, non-sustained electrocardiogram abnormalities, and transient atrioventricular block were rare and equally distributed between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Transradial LV-EMB is a safe procedure for experienced radial operators and non-inferior compared with transfemoral LV-EMB and RV-EMB.
