Comparing two access routes for brain angiograms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to perform a brain angiogram: one through the wrist (radial artery) and the other through the groin (femoral artery). It wants to see which is safer and works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) needing a brain angiogram.
- You have a pulse in your right wrist.
- You have at least one pulse in your groin area (femoral artery).
- You are not pregnant.
- Your aorta or main leg arteries are not completely blocked.

This trial compares two ways doctors reach the blood vessels to do diagnostic brain angiography: through the wrist artery (radial) or the groin artery (femoral). It may help show which access route is safer or easier for people needing this brain blood vessel imaging.
This study compares two different ways doctors can perform brain vessel imaging (cerebral angiography): through the wrist (transradial) versus through the groin (transfemoral). Researchers want to see which approach is safer and more effective for patients who need this imaging.
This study compares two ways to access the wrist artery for heart catheterization—one at the wrist and one slightly higher in the forearm. Researchers use ultrasound to check for any injury to the artery before you go home.
This trial tests if a robot can help perform a brain artery scan through the wrist as safely and effectively as the standard manual method. It might be an option if you need a detailed look at blood vessels in your brain.
This study compares radiation exposure to doctors performing heart procedures using two different arm access points. It helps determine which approach is safer for medical staff doing these procedures repeatedly.
This study compares two ways doctors can reach the heart during a catheter procedure: through the wrist (radial) or the groin (femoral). It aims to reduce bleeding and access-site complications, especially when patients may need a balloon/stent (PCI).
