title: Transcatheter arterial embolization of internal mammary artery in a hepatocellular carcinoma with abdominal wall invasion.
abstract: Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is alternatively employed to surgical resection in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TAE through the hepatic artery is sometimes insufficient since the blood supply to HCC may be from the collateral vessels as well. We report a case of HCC with abdominal wall invasion who underwent TAE through the right internal mammary artery after insufficient embolization of the tumor through the hepatic artery.
