Radial Access for Neurovascular Intervention

Expect an exceptional experience focused on pushing the boundaries of interventional medicine with transradial access for neurovascular procedures. A radial-first approach has been proven to provide a reduction in access-site complication rates1,2, earlier ambulation3, reduced hospital costs4 and strong patient preference5. Additionally, several institutions have demonstrated that transradial access is not only safe but can be learned rather quickly.

Expand Clinical Capabilities

  • Treat more patients if femoral access isn’t feasible

Increase Efficiencies

  • Achieve same-day discharge
  • Decrease costs
  • Improve throughput

Reduce Complication Risk

  • Enhance patient experiences
  • Improve clinical outcomes
