Abstract:
Although enthusiasm for transradial access for neurointerventional procedures has grown, a unique set of considerations bear emphasis to preserve safety and minimize complications. In the first part of this review series, we reviewed anatomical considerations for safe and easy neuroendovascular procedures from a transradial approach. In this second part of the review series, we aim to (1) summarize evidence for safety of the transradial approach, and (2) explain complications and their management.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management
Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
