Abstract
Transradial access (TRA) is a safe and comfortable approach and the preferred access for percutaneous coronary intervention. However, TRA is not widely used for peripheral interventions. Currently, there is a lack of data on patient selection, appropriate medical devices, complication prevention, and TRA adoption. Therefore, the Chinese Society of Interventional Oncology of the China Anti-Cancer Association organized nationwide experts to establish a Working Group of China Expert Consensus on TRA in percutaneous peripheral interventions in 2022, and jointly formulated this consensus to better promote the application of TRA in peripheral interventions to guide clinicians on patient selection, technical recommendations, and physician training. This consensus mainly focuses on the current situation, advantages and limitations of TRA in peripheral interventions, anatomical characteristics of the radial artery, patient selection, technical aspects, prevention and management of complications, radiation dose, and learning curve. A consensus was reached through a literature evaluation and by referring to the opinions of the expert group.

Abstract
Purpose The present study aimed to explore the feasibility and safety of Transarterial embolization (TAE) in the treatment of obstetrics and gynecological hemorrhagic diseases transradial approach (TRA) compared to transfemoral approach (TFA). Methods This cohort study was conducted on patients with obstetrics and gynecology bleeding diseases from June 2021 to November 2022. Clinical characteristics of the patients were comparable between the two groups. The success rate of puncture and embolization, radiation dose, operation time, fluoroscopy time (FT), as well as complications of each patient were recorded and then retrospectively analyzed the data. The European Five-dimensional Health Scale (ED-5Q) and visual analog scale (VAS) were used to assess the quality of life (QOL) on the day of discharge and 30 days after surgery between the two groups. Results A total of 71 patients undergoing TAE were allocated to the TRA (n = 31) or TFA (n = 40) group in this study. Puncture and embolization were completed in all patients. Compared to the TFA group, the radiation dose of the TRA group (343.89 ± 108.81 mGy vs. 469.29 ± 198.66 mGy; p = 0.029) is significantly reduced. Minor complications occurred in only one patient (3.2%) in the TRA group. The surgery-related quality of life EQ-5D index score on the day of discharge in the TRA group (0.72 ± 0.12 vs. 0.65 ± 0.11; p = 0.017) was significantly higher than that in the TFA group, and the VAS score (2.55 ± 0.62 vs. 2.95 ± 0.85; p = 0.025) of catheter site discomfort was significantly lower in the TRA group were than in the TFA group, but no significant difference was observed in the QOL assessment at 30 days post-surgery. Conclusion Transradial approach TAE has comparable efficacy and safety to TFA TAE in treating obstetrics and gynecological bleeding diseases. This access can improve patient QOL without affecting surgical safety.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare safety, efficacy, radiation exposure and patients comfort in patients of transradial access (TRA) in patients undergoing TARE compared with transfemoral access (TFA) including patient radiation exposure and patient comfort. METHODS A total of 222 patients undergoing technetium-99 m macro-aggregated albumin and TARE were retrospectively reviewed from 2017 to 2022. We analyzed procedure-related pain, quality of life, recovery time, procedure time, fluoroscopy time (FT), air kerma product and air kerma (AK) to compare the two access for intervention for HCC. RESULTS A total of 222 [(TFA (n = 147) and TRA (n = 75)] patients who underwent TARE for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were included. No significant difference was found regarding FT and DAP in comparison of TRA and TFA. (p = 0.385, p = 0.842). While the mean AK was 892.7 mGy in TFA patients, it was 545.2 mGy in TRA patients and there was statistically significant difference (p = 0.017). Patients who underwent TRA had significantly shorter hospital stays, and recovery times compared to those who underwent TFA (p = 0.001, p = 0.001). In terms of both mental health and physical function, TRA versus TFA has been observed to produce more favorable outcomes (p = 0.044, p = 0.032). CONCLUSION TRA access for TARE procedures significantly enhances patient comfort and satisfaction. The total radiation dose exposed to the patients who underwent TRA access was found to be significantly lower than the patients who underwent TFA access.

Abstract
PURPOSE To define operator learning curve inflection points for prostatic artery embolization (PAE) and their impact on technical efficiency, clinical outcomes, and adverse events. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 2013 and May 2021, 296 consecutive patients with moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms, urinary retention, or gross hematuria from benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent PAE by an interventional radiologist without prior PAE-specific experience. Operator learning curves plotted procedure time, fluoroscopy time, contrast volume, and embolic endpoint data against sequential procedure number. Multiple regression analysis evaluated for improvements in these parameters, with segmented linear regression to detect learning curve inflection points. Linear and logistic regression evaluated for learning curve impacts on 6-month clinical outcomes and 90-day adverse events. RESULTS No baseline patient characteristic varied over the series apart from decreasing pre-procedural gland volume (P < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated experience-dependent improvements in procedure time, fluoroscopy time, and contrast volume (P < 0.01), with corresponding learning curve inflection points at 76 (P < 0.01), 78 (P < 0.01), and 73 (P = 0.10) procedures. Embolic endpoints did not vary with experience (P > 0.05). Post-procedure reductions in International Prostate Symptom Score (21.5 ± 6.2 to 6.7 ± 4.7), Quality of Life score (4.5 ± 1.2 to 1.3 ± 1.2), post-void residual (190 ± 203 to 97 ± 148 mL), and gland volume (142 ± 97 to 76 ± 47 mL) were substantial (P < 0.01) but did not vary with experience (P > 0.05), nor did adverse event frequency/severity (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Operator technical efficiency plateaued after 73-78 PAE procedures. Clinical improvements were substantial and adverse event frequency/severity low, and neither varied with experience. Operators without prior PAE-specific experience may perform PAE safely and effectively from the outset. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 2b, Cohort Study.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) are systematically evaluated in the treatment of primary liver cancer, which provides a reference for clinical practice and more in-depth research. Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and WanFang Data, supplemented by other searches, collected all randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing TACE combined with TACE alone for HCC. The meta-analysis, after selecting the literature, extracting data, and evaluating the methodological quality of the included studies following the inclusion criteria, was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. There was statistical difference in 3-year survival rate of TACE combined with heat treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (OR = 1.72,95%CI (1.22,2.41), P=0.002, I2 = 0%, and Z = 3.12), total effective rate (OR = 1.91,95%CI (1.31,2.78), P=0.0008, I2 = 0%, and Z = 3.37), quality-of-life improvement rate (OR = 2.29,95%CI (1.62,3.23), P < 0.00001, I2 = 83%, and Z = 3.37), and complication rate (OR = 2.29,95%CI (1.62,3.23), P < 0.00001, I2 = 83%, and Z = 3.37). Compared with TACE alone, TACE combined with hyperthermia can significantly improve the survival rate and recent efficacy of patients, improve the quality of life, and have a trend to reduce the incidence of toxicity. However, its long-term efficacy and more comprehensive safety need to be verified by more sample and high-quality RCT.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether outpatient transradial emborrhoid technique can be performed safely and effectively in the treatment of symptomatic hemorrhoids. MATERIALS AND METHODS The transradial emborrhoid technique was used to treat 12 patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids in an outpatient setting during a 4-month period. After percutaneous catheterization of the left radial artery, a 5-Fr sheath was introduced to catheterize the inferior mesenteric artery and a microcatheter was advanced into the branches of the superior rectal artery for embolization with 0.018-inch detachable coils (Interlock and IDC-interlocking detachable coils). After embolization, the sheath was withdrawn and puncture site hemostasis was achieved using a wrist band. All patients were evaluated 6 h after the procedure to determine whether they meet the discharge criteria and were discharged the following day. The results of the emborrhoid treatment were assessed at the 4-week follow-up. RESULTS The emborrhoid technique was successful in all patients. There was no major complication associated with the procedure. All patients met the discharge criteria 6 h after the procedure. Reduction of local edema and of hemorrhoidal congestion was observed in all patients. At the follow-up visit, the mean Rorvik score (HDSS + SHS-HD) decreased from 31.50 (7.50) to 13.11 (8.33) (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Transradial rectal artery embolization is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with chronic symptoms of hemorrhoid disease.

Abstract
Background Cerebral angiography, or intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA), is a fluoroscopic imaging technique. In China, until recently, transfemoral access (TFA) has been used, rather than transradial access (TRA). This retrospective study aimed to compare transfemoral cerebral angiography (TFCA) with transradial cerebral angiography (TRCA) consecutively performed by the same operator, at a single center in China, to determine whether there were benefits from the shift from TFA to TRA in terms of efficiency, safety, and feasibility. Material/Methods A review of 1,048 cerebral angiograms in 980 patients was performed by a single operator from June 2014 to May 2018, including the TFA group (n=513) and the transradial access (TRA) group (n=535), and 39 patients underwent both TFA and TRA. The total procedure time, duration of fluoroscopy, catheterization success rate, image quality, length of stay in hospital, complications of the procedure, and patient preference were compared between the groups. Results Compared with TFCA, TRCA resulted in significantly shorter total procedure time, a higher catheterization success rate, better image quality, and shorter duration of hospital stay (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the TFA and TRA groups for cardiovascular, cerebral, and access site complications. Patients in the TRA group showed a significantly reduced fluoroscopy time at the early stages of operator training (P<0.05). Patient preference included TRA (76.74%), TFA (16.28%), and no preference (6.89%). Conclusions During four years at a single center, and with a single operator, TRCA was safe, feasible, and more rapid when compared with TFCA.
