What is usually the cause of getting to theatre for tace, line going in but not being able to get to the part they need to treat so they cannot do it?

Are there alternatives?

This was my experience of the second TACE mainly because the tumour had shrunk. There were no adverse consequences and I had the transplant about 3 months after.

But why would they be unable to get tube through? Blockage?

No blockage, just difficulties navigating. It was regarded as unproblematic by radiologist.
