The association of transradial access and transfemoral access with procedural outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients receiving endovascular thrombectomy: A meta-analysis
There is an ongoing debate regarding the benefits of using transradial access (TRA) over transfemoral access (TFA) in endovascular therapies including endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. This study sought to investigate the association of TRA and TFA with proced...

Zusammenfassung: | There is an ongoing debate regarding the benefits of using transradial access (TRA) over transfemoral access (TFA) in endovascular therapies including endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. This study sought to investigate the association of TRA and TFA with procedural success, access-site complications, first-pass reperfusion (FPR), puncture-to-recanalisation (PTR) time and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) by performing a meta-analysis.
PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus were searched. Studies with patients aged ≥ 18 years and head-to-head TRA vs TFA comparisons were included. Random-effects modeling was performed to obtain summary effects and forest plots were plotted to study the association of TFA with access site complications, FPR, HT, PTR time and procedural success.
Six studies encompassing 945 patients (347 TRA and 598 TFA) were included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis revealed that in AIS patients receiving EVT, TRA was significantly associated with a decreased risk of access-site complications (RR 0.17, 95% CI 0.05 0.54; p = 0.003, z = −2.957) and HT (RR 0.07, 95% CI 0.02 0.27; p |
