Efficacy and safety of a new torque-controlled angiographic catheter in cerebral angiography: A multicenter, randomized, open-label trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to examine the effectiveness and safety of a novel torque-controlled catheter for cerebral angiography.

Methods

A total of 417 patients who underwent routine transfemoral cerebral angiography were enrolled in a randomized controlled study to compare the new torque-controlled and control group catheters. Device success was assessed on parameters such as the assessment of the common carotid artery, device rotation force, and success rate with the crossover group after the failed procedure. Four neurointerventionalists investigated the degree of satisfaction of using the new device. Superiority and non-inferiority tests of satisfaction scores were estimated for the new torque-controlled and the control group catheters.

Results

The new torque-controlled
