Right-sided Upper Extremity Access for Patients Undergoing Parallel Graft Placement during Endovascular Aortic Repair is Not Associated with Increased Neurologic Events When Compared with Left Upper Extremity Access

•Type of Research: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study.•Key Findings: Ninety-seven endovascular aortic operations required upper extremity access, with 67 using access from the right upper extremity, 26 using access from the left upper extremity, and 4 using bilateral upper extremity access. Five total patients suffered cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), with 2 occurring in left-sided access (7.7%), 2 in right-sided access (3.0%), and 1 in bilateral access (25%).•Take Home Message: Right upper extremity access during endovascular aortic parallel graft placement is safe and effective when compared with left upper extremity access.•Table of Contents Summary: Right upper extremity access for patients undergoing parallel graft placement during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair is a safe and feasible approach that is not associated with an increased risk of stroke or neurological events as compared to left upper extremity access.
