Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of participants with complications

    If procedure-related complications are suspected clinically, appropriate tests such as CT scan or Ultrasound are performed and complications are evaluated. If procedure-related complications are not suspected, non-contrast CT scan is performed at 24 hours after procedure and complications are evaluated.

    within 24 hours after procedure

Study Arms (1)
