Retrospective observational cohort study shows trans-ulnar access is safe for neurointerventions, implying reduced complications compared to radial access.
Key Points
Trans-ulnar artery access demonstrated a lower incidence of major cerebrovascular events, with only 2 occurrences compared to 6 in the radial group.
Overall patient satisfaction increased, particularly with lesser use of general anesthesia during procedures.
Retrospective observational cohort study evaluated outcomes in 434 adult patients undergoing cerebral angiogram procedures.
Highlights the potential of trans-ulnar artery access as a viable alternative for neurointervention procedures when traditional methods are inadequate.
