Retrospective cohort study reports feasibility and safety of distal radial transarterial chemoembolization in liver cancer, highlighting a potential alternative to femoral access.
The femoral artery is the standard route for transarterial chemoembolization (TACE); however, it is negatively associated with the quality of life of patients, and carries an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs. We employed the distal radial approach to TACE to assess its feasibility and safety.
