Feasibility and safety of transarterial chemoembolization in patients with liver cancer via the distal radial approach: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

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.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study at the First Hospital of Jilin University from August 1, 2020 to October 31, 2023. To be eligible for inclusion in the study, the patients had to meet the following main inclusion criteria: (I) have undergone a preoperative imaging (abdominal computed tomography enhancement or magnetic resonance dynamic enhancement) examination, or have a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of primary liver cancer, and a Child
