To identify minimum case volume for optimum clinical benefit, single-vessel TR-PCI cases were chronologically ranked and stratified into 1 to 50, 51 to 100, 101 to 150 and 151 to 300 case volume groups for operators starting the TR approach at the study institution. Cases by operators with a &gt;300 TR-PCI case volume comprised the control group. TR-PCI failure rates, contrast use, guide usage, and fluoroscopy time were compared among groups. A total of 1672 patients underwent TR-PCI by 28 operators. TR-PCI failure occurred in 4% and was higher in the 1 to 50 case volume group compared to the 51 to 100 (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.007) and control (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.01) groups. Contrast use was greater in the 1 to 50 group (180\u00b179 mL) compared to the 151 to 300 (157\u00b175 mL,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.02) and control (168\u00b179 mL,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.05) groups. Fluoroscopy time was higher in the 1 to 50 group (15\u00b110 minutes) compared to the 101 to 150 (13\u00b110 minutes,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.04) and control (12\u00b19 minutes,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.02) groups. Reasons for TR-PCI failure included spasm (38%), subclavian tortuousity (16%), poor guide support (16%), failed access (10%), and radial loop (7%). Case volume was significantly correlated with TR-PCI failure (\u03b2=\u22120.0076,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.0028), and odds of failure was reduced by 32% for each 50 increments in case volume.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>TR-PCI success depends on operator experience, and a case volume of \u226550 cases is required to achieve outcomes comparable to experienced operators.
