The Rutgers Department of Neurological surgery is conducting a research study to investigate the safety and feasibility of a particular catheter, the Stryker AXS Infinity LS system, for neurointerventional procedures using the transradial approach. Most cerebrovascular pathologies, including ischemic stroke, aneurysms, carotid stenosis, arteriovenous malformations, and brain tumors are treated through a minimally invasive endovascular approach. Historically, the right common femoral artery has been the preferred access site for these procedures. Over the last 2 decades, cardiologists have transitioned to using the radial artery for access in their procedures due to its safety as well as patient preference. Given the positive results demonstrated for cardiac interventions, the transradial approach (TRA) has emerged as a feasible alternative for neurointerventional procedures as it was demonstrated to be safer, improve patient comfort, and decrease costs and procedural time when compared to the traditional transfemoral approach (TFA). With the preliminary experience from our own institute as well neurosurgical literature and extensive cardiology literature, we would like to conduct this study to investigate the feasibility of the AXS Infinity LS and Infinity LS plus catheters for Neuro-embolization using the TRA at our medical center. Both these catheters are FDA approved for access to the neurovasculature and they are already used routinely in the TRA at most institutions, but no formal study has been completed and reported for these two catheters. Your participation in this study does not affect your procedure at all. Your consent allows the doctors to collect the data from your procedure in order to investigate the catheter used.
