Radial Access for Neurointervention

The radial artery in the wrist is now used more often by interventional cardiologists to perform endovascular procedures because it is safer than the femoral artery in the thigh and groin. However, the neurointerventional community has been slow to adopt this innovation. Radial Access for Neurointervention is a book that describes the techniques of radial access and how it can be useful to the neuro community, with enhanced illustrations and videos to guide neurointerventionalists to transition their practices to radial first.

For years, neuroendovascular procedures have been conducted through the femoral artery (TFA) in the thigh and groin region. However, in recent years, interventional cardiologists have pioneered a newer approach: radial access. This involves utilizing the radial artery in the wrist to access the arterial system.

Numerous studies and randomized controlled trials have proven that radial access is a safer way to perform endovascular procedures. In fact, a majority of interventional cardiac procedures are now performed via radial access.

The neurointerventional community, however, has been slow to adopt this innovation.

That is, until now. The Radial Access for Neurointervention book is finally making its way to the neurointerventional community. This comprehensive resource is packed with literature supporting the usefulness of radial access in neurology. Detailed chapters cover the techniques of radial access, including patient positioning, microcatheter insertion into the brain, treatment of aneurysms, embolization of AVMs/AVFs, and management of complications.

Enhanced with numerous pictures and movies, this first-of-its-kind book provides neurointerventionalists with a clear guide to transitioning their practices to radial access. By embracing this innovation, neurointerventionalists can improve patient outcomes and enhance their skills in a rapidly evolving field.

In conclusion, the Radial Access for Neurointervention book is a valuable resource for neurointerventionalists looking to stay at the forefront of their field. With its comprehensive coverage of radial access techniques and evidence-based approach, this book will help neurointerventionalists transition their practices to radial access and provide the best possible care for their patients.
