What arteries do doctors use to reach the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endovascular: For endovascular trans-arterial approaches, we generally enter the common femoral artery, navigate the catheter through the aorta across the aortic arch, and then access the brain either via catheterizing the carotid arteries or vertebral arteries, depending upon the site of pathology.
