Abstract
Once committed to converting your practice to the radial approach, there are several tips and tricks that the authors suggest to improve your journey. Radial access is not difficult, but there are several strategies that are counterintuitive that can make the difference between building a successful radial practice and going back to femoral access. Understanding the learning journey having traveled it ourselves, the audience can receive the benefit of us having already tread the path and defined the optimal way to convert your practice to a radial first practice. The nuances of setting up a radial neurointerventional practice are reviewed.
