Abstract:
Conventional approaches for stent implantation for carotid artery stenosis are the radial and femoral approaches.The radial artery approach has the advantages of fewer puncture site complications, increased patient comfort, and shorter postoperative bed rest.Physicians conducting interventional procedures increasingly tend to choose the radial artery approach for interventional treatment.However, controversy remains concerning which of the two approaches should be preferred.Therefore, we aim to review the literature on carotid stent implantation through the radial versus femoral artery approaches to illustrate the advantages of the radial approach in terms of safety and feasibility.
