The RADIAL-TAVI trial aims to determine if radial secondary access is superior to femoral in transfemoral TAVI to reduce complications and improve outcomes.
Does radial secondary access reduce complication rates and improve safety compared to femoral secondary access in patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI?
The RADIAL-TAVI trial is designed to provide the first randomized evidence comparing radial versus femoral secondary access in transfemoral TAVI.
The RADIAL-TAVI trial will provide the first randomized evidence on the optimal secondary access strategy in transfemoral TAVI. If radial access proves superior, it has the potential to redefine standard practice, reduce complication rates, and improve patient safety and outcomes.
Ehr et al. (2026) studied this question. The RADIAL-TAVI trial aims to determine if radial secondary access is superior to femoral in transfemoral TAVI to reduce complications and improve outcomes.
