Episode notes
Radial vs. Brachial Access
- Radial access offers similar outcomes to brachial access, but with lower risks.
- It avoids complications like brachial artery pseudoaneurysm, thrombosis, or nerve entrapment.
Stroke Risk and Radial Access
- Concerns about increased stroke risk from right radial access appear unfounded.
- Data from coronary and peripheral studies show no increased risk compared to other access points.
Complementary Access
- Prepare for potential complications by having complementary access prepped.
- For complex cases like SFA CTOs or iliac interventions, anticipate challenges and have backup plans.
