In our experience, using transradial access for diagnostic cerebral angiograms was associated with a low but not negligible incidence of periprocedural strokes. Patient anatomy should be evaluated prior to selection of vascular access. Patients should be made aware of a slightly higher periprocedural stroke risk with transradial access.
