R2V

Radial to Visceral

Emerging clinical evidence indicates that R2V is a feasible and effective alternative access approach for multiple abdominal endovascular therapeutic targets.2 Large retrospective studies3 and mid-sized prospective registries4 report high technical success rates (97–98%)3,4 and a very low incidence of major complications (0–0.13%).3,4 Notably, no cases of hand ischemia or clinically significant neurological events have been reported3,4 supporting the safety of R2V across a range of vascular procedures. R2V is also associated with greater patient preference compared to femoral access, as indicated by randomized trial results.1 However, careful patient assessment and selection remain essential to minimize possible risks and optimize outcomes.2
