The Application of Coaxial Catheter Method in Hepatic Segmental Arterial Embolization for Hepatic Carcinoma / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

In order to acheive the superseledive tumor feading hepatic segmental arterial targat embolization, the coaxial catheter method has been used for 36 cases of hepatic carcinoma. After the treatment, the diminution in tumor size over 50% was noted in 24 cases, between 25～50% 8 cases, lower than 25% 4 cases; with the reductions of serum AFP value to normal in 3 eases, between 20%～50% 17 cases, less than 20% 4 cases. (The technique of superselective catheterization and the therapeutic effects of hepatic segmental arterial embolization has been discussed). In conclusion, the authors surggeted that the segmental arterial embolization could improve the therapeutic efficacies for the hepatic carcinomas, and also pocess a bias for an extensive clinical application.
