Best of the AANS Session-Complications of femoral vs. radial access in neuroendovascular procedures with propensity adjustment

Complications of femoral vs. radial access in neuroendovascular procedures with propensity adjustment

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a presentation by Dr. Joshua Katapano, a fourth-year resident at the Barrow Neurological Institute, titled "Complications of Femoral vs. Radial Axis in Neuroendovascular Procedures with Propensity Adjustment." The presentation compares the outcomes and complications of using the femoral artery approach versus the radial artery approach in neuroendovascular procedures. The study found that the radial artery approach had superior clinical outcomes, including reduced bleeding, major vascular complications, overall adverse clinical events, and shorter hospital stays. The study also discusses the benefits of using the distal or snuffbox approach within the radial artery and recommends a radial first strategy for neurointerventional procedures. The results suggest that the transradial artery approach is safer and can be performed with minimal loss in efficiency. The presentation acknowledges Dr. Albuquerque and Dr. Ducre.
