Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) via transradial access (TRA) compared with transfemoral access (TFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, or Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: = 0.551). No major adverse events occurred in either of the groups. CONCLUSION: PAE via TRA is a safe and feasible method comparable to conventional TFA. It can be safely implemented by selecting patients with patent carpal circulation and adequate height.
