Aims and objectives
- There is extensive experience in the use of transfemoral access (TFA) in interventional neuroradiology,
being the most frequent vascular access used for catheterization of supra-aortic trunks and intracranial vessels.
- Transradial access (TRA ),
is used systematically in cardiology procedures were randomized studies support its safety and low rate of local complications in the puncture site,
as well of reduction of the of hospital stay with greater tolerability for the patients.
- For these reasons TRA is progressively being adopted in neuroradiology ,
either to perform diagnostic angiographies as well as interventional procedures.
We retrospectively review the efficacy and safety of TRA in neurointerventional therapeutic procedures in our center,
considering success in radial and supra-aortic vessel catheterization,
puncture site complications and technical aspects.
