Radial to Visceral
Radial access offers more patient satisfaction¹

This alternative approach offers distinct advantages over transfemoral access, including enhanced patient comfort, faster mobilisation/ambulation, fewer access site complications, and potentially shorter hospital stays and reduced costs. With technological advancements enabling broader clinical applications, radial access is increasingly being adopted by interventional radiologists for peripheral interventions, including visceral (R2V) procedures—unlocking new possibilities in patient-centered care.2

Clinical Evidence

neutrals-100
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
