Brief Summary
In patients with suspected acute stroke due to large vessel occlusion with indication for endovascular treatment, radial access is just as safe, fast, and effective as femoral access, and it improves the entire stroke treatment process.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
No inferiority of radial access in the recanalization rate
To demonstrate the non-inferiority of radial access with respect to femoral access in the recanalization rate (% mTICI 2b-3 in 3 or fewer passes) obtained in patients with large vessel occlusion treated by mechanical thrombectomy.
Immediate after treatment
Secondary Outcomes (7)
No differences in complications in vascular access
24 hours
Grades of modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction
24 hours
Change of artery access
24 hours
Patient Reported Outcomes
5 days
Patient experience
5 days
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Radial access
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe ischemic stroke treatment will be performed through the radial artery (as first option)
Femoral access
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe ischemic stroke treatment will be performed through the femoral artery (as first option)
Interventions
Extraction of intracranial thrombus in an acute large vessel occlusion
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with high suspicion of ischemic stroke due to large cerebral vessel occlusion defined by NIHSS\> 10.
- Immediate availability of the entire team responsible for endovascular treatment (Neurologist, Neurointerventional physician, Anesthetist, Nursing, Technicians ...)
- Radial artery diameter ≥2.5 mm
- Presence of femoral pulse or patency by ultrasonography in its defect.
- Previous functional independence (mRS 0-2).
You may not qualify if:
- Life expectancy of less than 6 months.
- Intracranial hemorrhage
- Patients with pre-existing neurological or psychiatric pathology that may confuse future evaluations.
- No availability for follow-up after 90 days.
