Comparison of Transradial vs Transfemoral Access for Aortoiliac and Femoropopliteal Interventions

Abstract

The transradial approach for aortoiliac and femoropopliteal interventions is safe and efficacious compared with the transfemoral approach for a range of lesion subtypes. Nevertheless, there remains a need for improvements in peripheral device and catheter technology to decrease transradial failure rates.
