Summary
Transradial access (TRA) is a safe and effective alternative to transfemoral access (TFA) for cerebral angiography. This study shows TRA preserves safety and efficiency during the transition, supporting its wider use in neurointerventional procedures.
Area of Science:
- Neurointerventional radiology
- Vascular access techniques
Background:
- Transradial access (TRA) adoption for neurointerventional procedures lags despite evidence.
- Initial institutional success with TRA for stroke thrombectomy prompted broader use in cerebral angiography.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transitioning from transfemoral access (TFA) to transradial access (TRA) for cerebral angiography.
- To analyze patient selection, technical aspects, complications, and the operator learning curve during this transition.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 148 cerebral angiograms performed via TRA between January 2016 and February 2017.
- Analysis included patient selection criteria, technical details, patient outcomes, and operator proficiency over time.
Main Results:
- No major complications were reported in 148 TRA procedures.
- Technical success rates were comparable to TFA.
- Operator efficiency improved significantly within a limited number of cases (4.3 vs 3.6 min/vessel).
Conclusions:
- Transitioning to TRA for cerebral angiography can maintain procedural safety and efficiency.
- Findings suggest a re-evaluation of TRA's role in cerebral angiography is warranted.
- Further research is needed to support widespread TRA adoption.

Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

Nearly all the energy used by cells comes from the bonds that make up complex organic compounds. These organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules, such as glucose. As a result, cells extract energy from glucose over many chemical reactions—a process called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

The human brain, a complex organ, is functionally divided into two cerebral hemispheres—left and right. These hemispheres are interconnected by a structure of paramount importance, the corpus callosum. This substantial bundle of neural fibers is not just a bridge between the hemispheres but a crucial element for the brain's comprehensive functioning. It enables efficient communication between the two hemispheres, allowing each side of the brain to control and receive sensory and motor...

The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...
