          Abstract

          Transradial (TR) catheterization is gaining popularity due to its association with lower bleeding and access site complications, improved patient comfort, and lower costs compared to transfemoral (TF) catheterization; however, there is concern that TR catheterization may be associated with an increased risk of neurological complications. New randomized data has emerged since the publication of the last meta-analysis evaluating the risk of stroke between TR and TF catheterization in 2009.
