NCT05225636

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)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The ischemic stroke treatment will be performed through the radial artery (as first option)

Procedure: thrombectomy

Femoral access

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The ischemic stroke treatment will be performed through the femoral artery (as first option)

Procedure: thrombectomy

Interventions

thrombectomyPROCEDURE
