Overview
Transradial diagnostic angiography in cardiovascular disease given lower vascular complications. However, neuroendovascular surgeons have not widely adopted the transradial approach for diagnostic approach and interventional procedures. This study aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction with the transradial approach versus the transfemoral approach in diagnostic cerebral angiography.
