RADIAL TO NEUROVASCULAR

Why Radial to Neurovascular?

Expect an exceptional experience focused on pushing the boundaries of interventional medicine with transradial access for neurovascular procedures. Decades of experience in endo- and cardiovascular angiography and interventional procedures, as well as research in neurovascular patients have demonstrated a reduction in access-site complication rates1,2, earlier ambulation3, reduced hospital costs4 and strong patient preference5.  Several institutions have demonstrated that a radial-first approach is not only safe, but can be learned rather quickly.

BENEFITS OF TIS NEURO SOLUTIONS:

Terumo Interventional Systems offers transradial access and closure devices that allow the operators to optimize procedural outcomes while preserving arterial function post-intervention. In addition, Terumo hydrophilic coating helps reduce radial artery spasm, allowing the operator to optimize procedural outcomes and patient satisfaction while preserving arterial function.
