Prior data has shown that radial approach has been associated with increased rate of cerebral emboli. During transition from femoral access site (historical) to a combined radial and femoral access site (contemporary) for cardiac catheterization, we hypothesize that increased manipulation of equipment would be associated with greater manipulation of the aorta and result in increased embolic events to the brain. Our study investigates whether the rate of neurologic events changed from hi… Show more
