Transfemoral access (TFA) has been widely used in interventional neuroradiology and is the most frequently used vascular approach for catheterisation of the supraaortic and intracranial vessels. However, TFA can lead to potentially life-threatening complications, which has sparked interest in transradial access (TRA) as a safer access option. In a review of 19,826 consecutive patients undergoing diagnostic cerebral angiography using TFA, access-site haematoma was the most common complication overall (4.2%).
