Anatomical and geometric considerations for transradial versus transfemoral approach to extracranial carotid artery stenting:
- Transradial (TR) and transfemoral (TF) approaches for extracranial carotid artery stenting (eCAS) were compared in 1346 patients.
- Conversion from TR to TF occurred in 17%, significantly increasing complication risks.
- A left common carotid artery origin angle <90°, especially around 50°, was linked to higher complications.
- Other geometric features did not predict outcomes; both approaches are generally safe when appropriately selected.
