Article Synopsis
- Transradial access (TRA) for mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke is being considered as a safer alternative to the traditional transfemoral access (TFA), though its effectiveness is still being questioned.
- A meta-analysis examined 13 studies involving 4,759 patients and found no major difference in successful recanalization rates between TRA and TFA.
- However, when a specific study was excluded, the results suggested TFA might be more effective with better functional outcomes and a lower risk of needing to switch from TFA to TRA during procedures.
