Complications Following Transradial Cerebral Angiography : An Ultrasound Follow-Up Study.

Objective: The feasibility and usefulness of transradial catheterization for coronary and neuro-intervention are well known. However, the anatomical change in the catheterized radial artery (RA) is not well understood. Herein, we present the results of ultrasonographic observation of the RA after routine transradial cerebral angiography (TRCA).

Transradial access for cerebrovascular angiography: Evaluation of palmar collateral circulation with hand angiography and its correlation with Allen test.

Objectives: Transradial cerebral angiography (TRCA) has been introduced as an alternative technique for the transfemoral access, and its use is becoming more common in the field. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed a group of patients who received TRCA, and investigated peri-procedural measurements indicating actual hand circulation, and studied their correlation with the Allen test.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective review of 168 patients whom underwent TRCA between 2015 July and 2016 July, were included in this study.
