Transradial versus transfemoral access for acute stroke endovascular thrombectomy: a 4-year experience in a high-volume center

To compare clinical outcomes and safety of transradial (TRA) versus transfemoral access (TFA) for endovascular mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke patients.Retrospective analysis of 832 consecutive patients with acute stroke undergoing interventional thrombectomy using TRA (n = 64) or TFA (n = 768).Direct TFA failures occurred in 36 patients, 18 of which underwent crossover TFA to TRA, while direct TRA failures occurred in 2 patients having...
