A transradial approach (TRA) for cerebral angiography was less effective than the transfemoral route in achieving an accurate diagnostic success rate. Study investigator, Wei Ni, MD, Huashan Hospital, ...

Transradial access (TRA) results in a lower diagnostic success rate and longer procedural times compared with transfemoral access (TFA) in patients undergoing cerebral angiography, the randomized ...

PHOENIX -- Transradial access for endovascular thrombectomy was noninferior to standard transfemoral access, a single-center randomized trial showed. The rate of recanalization success was 87.9% (51 ...

Long-time proponents are adamant: it’s time for any holdouts still relying primarily on the transfemoral approach to make the switch once and for all. “Radial first, that’s the message,” Roxana Mehran ...
