Cone-beam CT acquisition during transradial TACE made easy; use of the swivel arm board.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTransradial access for peripheral intervention often requires certain modification from its coronary counterparts. One of the challenges during transradial transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the need for the access arm to be repositioned during cone-beam CT (CBCT) acquisition to allow for C-arm rotation. We recently introduced a swivel arm board to allow seamless repositioning of the access arm during and after CBCT acquisition. The purpose of this study is to detail the technique and feasibility of this useful adjunct to transradial TACE.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study of consecutive cases of transradial TACE between November 2015 and March 2016, which represented the period where we introduced the swivel arm board to our transradial procedure. A total of 20 transradial TACE using the swivel arm board was performed in 17 patients. There were 13 males and 4 females. The mean age was 69.5 years old (range 48-82 years). Indications for TACE included hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 14) and metastatic liver disease (n = 3).
resultsTransradial TACE was successful in all cases. A total of 40 successful arm repositioning using the swivel arm board for CBCT acquisitions were performed (100% success rate). There was no catheter or sheath dislodgement associated with the arm movements. No change in the microcatheter tip position was detected as a result of the arm repositioning. Hemostasis was successfully achieved in all the patients. There was no access related complication.
conclusionThe swivel arm board is a useful adjunct to enable CBCT acquisition during transradial TACE. Advances in knowledge: Transradial TACE is a novel technique, and adaptation to allow for CBCT acquisition is currently challenging. This manuscript illustrates how to overcome the positioning difficulties with the use of the swivel arm board.
