Risk of bias was assessed employing Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool.\u00a0A total of eleven studies with 990 patients using Armadillo, RIST, Zoom RDL, and BMX 81 catheters were included. The Armadillo showed significantly lower failure to catheterize the target vessel (0.0% vs. 3.04%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.036) than RIST. The Zoom RDL catheter had relatively higher failure rate of 10.3%. There was no significant difference between the Armadillo and RIST catheters in procedure-related complications. There were no reported cases of arterial spasm or hemorrhage for Armadillo catheter. RIST catheter had a 3.2% rate of neurological complications, a 3.1% rate of transfemoral conversion, and a 1.8% rate of hematoma. The BMX 81 catheter had a 2.5% rate of arterial vasospasm and a 5% rate of procedure-related complications. The Zoom RDL catheter had consistent rates of procedure-related, transfemoral conversion, and neurological complications, all at 6.9%, with insufficient data on other complications.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10143-025-03765-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,28]],"date-time":"2025-08-28T06:52:17Z","timestamp":1756363937000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Radial-specific catheters for neuroendovascular procedures: A systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Ali","family":"Mortezaei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadir","family":"Al-Saidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Mohammadzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jamal","family":"Behnood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammed Amir","family":"Essibayi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khaled M.","family":"Taghlabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Abdelsalam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Amin","family":"Habibi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bardia","family":"Hajikarimloo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis","family":"Guada-Delgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ram","family":"Saha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Redi","family":"Rahmani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amir H.","family":"Faraji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert M.","family":"Starke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"3765_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clineuro.2024.108637","volume":"247","author":"A Mortezaei","year":"2024","unstructured":"Mortezaei A, Hajikarimloo B, Eraghi MM et al (2024) Trans-radial vs. trans-femoral approaches in diagnostic cerebral angiography: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of practicality and cost-effectiveness.
