Embolization of hemorrhage from a ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma via the false lumen of an aortic dissection using transradial access.

<bold>Background and Aims: </bold>Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has been repeatedly shown as an effective method of controlling acute hemorrhage. Arterial access for TAE in the emergent setting is typically trans-femoral, though other routes are routinely used. The presence of abnormal vasculature such as an aortic dissection increases the difficulty of TAE.<bold>Case Report: </bold>This report details a case of acute hemorrhage likely from a ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma in which the celiac artery originated from the false lumen of a type B aortic dissection.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>The false lumen was catheterized via left radial artery access and the bleeding hepatic arterial branch was successfully embolized.
