We represent the first clinical case of the successful uterine fibroid embolization via transradial approach. The technical aspects and the main advantages of this type of the procedure compared to the uterine fibroid embolization via transfemoral approach are described.

Background: Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is as an effective alternative to hysterectomy and myomectomy. However, UFE is associated with a wide spectrum of complications including in rare instances thromboembolic events and even pulmonary embolism (PE). Case Presentation: A case of a 36-year-old woman suffering from a symptomatic uterine fibroid is described as follows. The patient underwent UFE and overnight she suddenly collapsed with signs of massive PE. In consequence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and urgent systemic thrombolytic therapy, cardiac activity was restored successfully. Discussion & Conclusion: This constitutes another report of PE developed following UFE. In the case described here PE occurred 26 hours after the procedure was performed. Before UFE all patients should undergo complete examination for exclusion of pre-existing venous deep thrombosis and coagulopathies.

Background: The transfemoral approach (TFA) has been the standard in neuroradiology over the years. However, the transradial approach (TRA) and its variants offer several benefits over the TFA. Methods: Review of the literature about TRA and its variations. We present our results for different neurointerventional procedures at our institution between January 2018 and December 2019. Results: We wrote an educational review describing anatomical and technical aspects, advantages, and complications of this approach. In the past year we increased the percentage of neurointerventional procedures performed through radial or ulnar arteries. Conclusion: There are clearly proven benefits of employing a wrist approach in patients for neurointerventional procedures and its utilization should especially be considered on a daily basis.
