Transradial Versus Transfemoral Arterial Access in Liver Cancer Embolization: Randomized Trial to Assess Patient Outcomes and Satisfaction (BEST ACCESS Trial).
Completed
Conditions studied: Hepatic Carcinoma, Chemoembolizaton, Transarterial Embolization
In brief
To evaluate the safety, advantages, and appropriateness of performing transarterial hepatic emobolization of liver cancer via arterial access from the radial artery versus conventional transfemoral arterial access. The procedures that will be followed utilizing arterial access include transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), specifically performed for hepatocellular carcinoma, and transarterial embolization (TAE) which is performed for types of liver tumors such as carcinoid tumors or liver metastases.

You may qualify if…
- Age > 18 years
- Selected for TACE treatment of Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer Staging System stage B disease per current standard of care or TAE for the treatment of hepatic carcinoma
- Radial diameter of ≥2.0mm as determined by clinical and ultrasound evaluation
- Patient undergoes at least two of three courses of planned treatment with TACE/TAE per institutional protocol
You may not qualify if…
- Need for additional procedures requiring transfemoral or transradial access approach during the same hospitalization
- Patient is unable to give informed consent in accordance with guidelines established the Institutional Review Board.
- Unsuitable for radial access due lack of dual arterial supply to the hand as determined by modified Allen test.
