This manuscript is a resubmission of an earlier submission. The following is a list of the peer review reports and author responses from that submission.
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Interesting review on the radial access to perform uterine embolization.
The manuscript is well written and the review well conducted.
Please avoid the use of first person ("we", "our").
Intro: Needs to be thoroughly edited. second paragraph may be removed.Third paragraph: please add references. Fourth, please down the statements on complications related to femoral access: this is true but other access have also some disadvantages. The rationale of the review is to demonstrate the value of radial access, not the disadvantages of femoral route.
Material and methods: ok
Results: a paragraph on material used would be interesting (size of catheter sheeth, length, side, compression system...)
comparison with the transbrachial, transulnar or transfemoral approaces were not performed.
Discussion ok. But
Tables: need more details on technique for instance.
