A reality check in transradial access: a single-centre comparison of transradial and transfemoral access for abdominal and peripheral intervention.

• Transradial access (TRA) is feasible in a variety of peripheral interventions, achieving success in 93.2% of cases. • Access-related complications are comparable between transfemoral access (TFA) and TRA (p = 0.241), but prudence must be taken during TRA as it could be technically challenging. • Procedures performed with TRA tend to have longer fluoroscopy time compared to those performed with TFA (p = 0.033), but the DAPs are comparable (p = 0.186).
