The impact of Verapamil for radial access in diagnostic cerebrovascular angiograms: A retrospective case-control study

CONCLUSION: Verapamil in the "cocktail" for wrist access diagnostic cerebral angiograms was associated with periprocedural hives, but not associated with a significant reduction in spasm compared to the non-Verapamil group. Our findings suggest that the administration of prophylactic Verapamil for these procedures may not be necessary.PMID:37574785 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231193932
