"This study provides one of the largest pediatric datasets to date, supporting TRA as a viable alternative in carefully selected children.

Asymptomatic radial artery occlusion occurred in 5.1% of cases, with a sheath-to-artery ratio ≥ 1 identified as an independent risk factor - underscoring the importance of preprocedural ultrasound and vessel–device matching.

TRA was associated with a higher rate of vasospasm (7% vs 1%), but notably a lower rate of access-site hematoma (2% vs 9%). Despite longer fluoroscopy times in the TRA group, overall radiation dose and procedural duration were similar between approaches.

In this propensity score–matched analysis, Fung et al. compared 100 matched pairs of TRA and transfemoral access (TFA) in pediatric neurovascular procedures. Technical success rates were comparable (TRA 98% vs TFA 99%), supporting the feasibility of radial access in appropriately selected children.

👶🏻 🧠 ✋ Is radial artery access possible in children for neurointerventions?

While TRA is now widely adopted in adults for its advantages in early ambulation and improved patient comfort, its role in children has remained less clear due to smaller vessel size and a higher propensity for vasospasm.

Adjustments in contrast-injection strategies and arterial-phase imaging may play an important role in enhancing diagnostic performance and supporting more precise staging and treatment planning in colorectal cancer patients." Sonja Jankovic 🖥️🧪

Optimizing contrast dynamics during CT acquisition can enhance lesion-to-liver contrast and improve diagnostic confidence in identifying metastatic disease.

"These findings highlight the value of refined CT acquisition protocols for improving detection of metastatic liver disease.

This study evaluates the downslope contrast injection method in arterial-phase CT imaging and demonstrates improved lesion conspicuity and detection of liver metastases compared with conventional approaches.

Arterial Phase CT Improves Detection of Colorectal Liver Metastases

Accurate detection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is essential for treatment planning and surgical decision-making in patients with colorectal cancer.
