Update on Transradial Access for Percutaneous Transcatheter Visceral Artery Embolization.

Update on Transradial Access for Percutaneous Transcatheter Visceral Artery Embolization. Korean J Radiol. 2020 Aug 28;: Authors: Chu HH, Kim JW, Shin JH, Cho SB Abstract Transfemoral access (TFA) is a widely used first-line approach for most peripheral vascular interventions. Since its introduction in cardiologic and neurointerventional procedures, several advantages of transradial access (TRA) over TFA have been demonstrated, such as patient preference, lower complication rates, early ambulation, and shorter hospital stay. However, studies reporting the safety and efficacy of this approach for peripheral vascular interventions performed by interventional radiologists are relatively few. This review aimed to summarize the technique and clinical applications of TRA in percutaneous transcatheter visceral artery embolization and the management of complications.
