Article Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the technical success rate, the selectivity of transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), the complication rate, the radiation dose given to the patients and the hospitalization stay between TACE performed using femoral artery approach (FAA) and TACE performed using radial artery approach (RAA) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Between June 2020 and April 2022, 49 patients with HCC who underwent 116 TACEs (75 using FAA and 41 using RAA) were included. Differences in technical success rate, selectivity of micro-catheterization, radiation dose given to the patients, fluoroscopy time, hospitalization stay duration, and complication rate were compared between FAA and RAA using Fisher exact or Student tests.
Results: No differences in technical success rates were found between RAA (93%; 39/41 TACEs) and FAA (100%; 75/75 TACEs) ( = .12). There were no differences between the two groups in terms of selectivity of catheterization, radiation dose, fluoroscopy time and hospitalization stay duration. Five patients had Grade 2 complications (hematoma) after FAA vs. one patient with one Grade 1 complication (radial artery occlusion) after RAA (5/75 [7%] vs. 1/41 [2%], respectively; = .42). No major arterial access site complications occurred with FAA or RAA.
Conclusions: This study confirms that RAA is a safe approach that does not compromise the technical efficacy and the selectivity of TACE compared to FAA in patients with HCC.

Background: Hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)), a notorious toxic heavy metal pollutant with proven carcinogenicity, endangers human health and the environment. Meanwhile, l-ascorbic acid (L-AA), a vital biological antioxidant, has abnormal levels closely tied to various diseases. Developing efficient synchronous detection methods for these two key analytes is of great value in clinical and environmental monitoring.

Introduction: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common surgical procedure used to treat herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and nerve root compression in the cervical spine. This systematic literature review aims to analyze the available literature on the incidence, risk factors, clinical considerations, and available therapies for spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) following ACDF.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase from database inception to June 18, 2025, following the PRISMA guidelines.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between operative time (OT) and post-operative outcomes in complex endovascular aortic repair and to explore contributing factors to OT.
Methods: This retrospective, observational cohort study analysing data from a single centre included patients undergoing fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR), branched endovascular aortic repair (BEVAR), or arch branched endovascular aortic repair (aBEVAR) from February 2018 to December 2024. OT was defined as the interval from first arterial access to closure.
