Abstract
Traditionally, interventional oncology (IO) has employed a transfemoral arterial approach (TFA). Yet, there may be benefits to utilizing a transradial arterial approach (TRA) in IO indications including transarterial chemoebolization (TACE) and transarterial radioembolization (TARE). This chapter briefly presents the techniques utilized for TRA in these procedures. Recent studies have found no difference in success rate between TFA and TRA, while TRA has similar or lower complication rates. Further, studies have shown a significant patient preference for TRA procedures. However, TRA has been found to be associated with increased fluoroscopy time and radiation dose.
