Radial Access Mechanical Thrombectomy: Bail-Out Approach in Patients with Total Abdominal Aorta Occlusion—A Case Report
Funding None.
Abstract
Radial artery access for mechanical thrombectomy is emerging as a viable alternative to femoral access, particularly in patients with challenging vascular anatomy. This case report describes a successful mechanical thrombectomy via the radial approach in a patient with an acute ischemic stroke. The technical feasibility, procedural outcomes, and potential advantages of this approach are discussed.
Keywords
