Among them, 44 patients were in the transfemoral access (TFA) group, and 22 patients were in the dTRA group. The success rate of the procedure, contrast dosage, time consumed for contrast, postoperative complications, patient Satisfaction Score and objective analysis of image quality were recorded and statistically analysed using SPSS 22.0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The analysis revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in the procedural success rates between the two groups, with the TFA group achieving a 95% success rate compared to 86% in the dTRA group (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.41). The amount of contrast agent used was significantly higher in the dTRA group than in the TFA group (70.79\u2009\u00b1\u200913.25\u2005mL vs. 60.10\u2009\u00b1\u200916.98\u2005mL,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.02). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the complication rate (2.3% in the TFA group vs. 0% in the dTRA group,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20091.00). Slightly more time-consuming imaging in the dTRA group (30\u2005min vs. 25\u2005min,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.06). Patient satisfaction score in the dTRA group (4.16\u2009\u00b1\u20090.60) was better than the TFA group (3.12\u2009\u00b1\u20090.63,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.00). The CNR (13.99\u2009\u00b1\u20097.92) in the dTRA group was lower than that in the TFA group (21.31\u2009\u00b1\u200910.57) (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n
