This first-in-human pilot study seeks to evaluate the feasibility and safety of using a percutaneous ultrasound device with needle guide for vascular access. Eligible participants will undergo the procedure of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for primary or metastatic liver cancer, as part of participants' clinical care. The percutaneous ultrasound device with needle guide will be deployed in eligible participants at the beginning of the procedure for guiding a needle inside the femoral artery. Once the needle is inside the artery, then a guide wire is advanced inside the needle and vascular access is successfully obtained. The study will identify whether this ultrasound-based device with needle guide is helpful for guiding a needle inside the femoral artery.
