Comparison of complications between different vascular access.

Complications	RAA ()	FAA ()	^†
Aortic artery dissection, no. (%)	0 (0)	0 (0)	1
Renal artery dissection, no. (%)	0 (0)	0 (0)	1
Retroperitoneal hematoma, no. (%)	0 (0)	0 (0)	1
Hematoma, no. (%)	11 (1.8)	25 (3.5)	0.06
Pseudoaneurysm, no. (%)	3 (0.5)	6 (0.8)	0.44
Arteriovenous fistula, no. (%)	1 (0.2)	3 (0.4)	0.39
Total, no. (%)	15 (2.5)	34 (4.8)	0.03

Complications are shown as numbers (%). ^† values were calculated by comparing characteristics between two groups. RAG: renal arteriography; RAA: radial artery access; FAA: femoral artery access.
