Study Summary

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.

Primary Outcome

Record of patient response via administered questionnaire as well as stated patient choice in the selection of approach for the third planned procedure of a series. These findings will be correlated with additional objective data regarding complication rates.
