Comparing two methods for cerebral angiography
Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of Cerebral Angiography Using Trans-femoral Approach Versus Trans-radial Approach
NA · Mashhad University of Medical Sciences · NCT06490848
This study is testing which method of doing a brain blood vessel scan—through the wrist or the groin—works better and is safer for adults needing this procedure.

What this trial studies
This study compares the safety and efficacy of the transradial approach versus the transfemoral approach for diagnostic cerebral angiography. It aims to evaluate patient satisfaction and the incidence of vascular complications associated with each method. The study will include adult patients referred for cerebral angiography who meet specific inclusion criteria. By analyzing outcomes from both approaches, the research seeks to determine which method is more beneficial for patients undergoing this procedure.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adult inpatients and outpatients referred for diagnostic cerebral angiography who have a palpable right radial pulse and at least one femoral pulse.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years old, pregnant individuals, or those with occlusion of the aorta or proximal iliac/femoral arteries may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a safer and more effective method for performing cerebral angiography, reducing complications for patients.
How similar studies have performed: While the transradial approach has shown success in cardiovascular procedures, its application in neuroendovascular contexts is less established, making this study a novel exploration.
