A comparison of radial versus femoral artery access for acute stroke interventions.

CONCLUSIONS: Acute stroke intervention performed via transradial access is feasible and effective, with no significant difference in procedural and clinical outcomes compared with traditional transfemoral access. Larger studies are required to further validate the efficacy and limitations of transradial access for neurointerventional procedures. PMID: 33186909 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
