Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) assisted by transradial approach and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) three-dimensional vascular reconstruction in the treatment of primary liver cancer. Methods The clinical data of 124 patients with primary liver cancer who underwent precision TACE via radial artery in our hospital from May 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. Results Among the 124 patients, 118 patients were successfully punctured through the left radial artery and completed the TACE operation. The operation time was (109.57±31.32) min, and the median of postoperative hospitalization was 3 d. One patient changed to the right radial artery to complete TACE due to chronic renal failure and left brachial artery and vein puncture and catheterization before operation. The operation time was 119 minutes, and the patient was discharged after 5 days of hospitalization. After successful puncture of the left radial artery in one patient, the forearm artery was twisted into a loop and the guide wire catheter failed to pass, and the right femoral artery was used to complete TACE. The operation time was 123 minutes, and the patient was discharged after 4 days of improvement. The radial artery puncture was unsuccessful in four patients, and the right femoral artery approach was used to complete the operation; the operation time was (111.66±32.77) min, and the median of postoperative hospitalization was 3 d. One of the patients successfully completed up to 5 consecutive TACE via the radial artery. All patients underwent precision TACE with superselective cannulation assisted by CBCT three-dimensional vascular reconstruction. No vascular injury andocclusion, urinary retention, subcutaneous hemorrhage, and other complications occurred in all patients. Conclusions Trans-radial arterial precision TACE is safe and effective, which can be repeated many times and has few complications and high patient comfort. It can be used as one of the routine approaches of TACE.
