Superselective transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation of an unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma using three-dimensional rotational angiography.
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation is the mainstay of treatment for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. In patients with poor liver function, superselective catheter placement is necessary to prevent treatment-induced liver failure. Herein, the authors describe a case of a hepatocellular carcinoma successfully treated by superselective transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation using three-dimensional rotational angiography.
