Access site complications are unusual as a large-diameter common femoral artery access is rarely required for the embolization. Iatrogenic arterial dissection occasionally occurs at the celiac artery origin during difficult catheterization. In patients with borderline hepatic or renal function, the risk of contrast induced nephropathy and hepatorenal syndrome can usually be prevented with optimal hydration and by limiting the volume ofliver embo-lized.
