Abstract:
Objective To suty DSA features of the splencin artery which provides blood supply to the tumor in the patients with hepatic carcinoma,to improve the clinical results of interventional therapy.Methods DSA was performed in 3 patients with hepatic carcinoma and the blood supply of tumors by splenic artery was found.The DSA features were analysed and the interventional embolization was carried out at the same time.Results After super-selective embolization of the splenic artery,obvious reduction of the tumor-feeding microvessels and marked shrinking of the lesion were observed in all cases.Conclusion Splenic artery as one of the supply arteria to the tumors in hepatic carcinoma is very important to familiarize that in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatic carcinoma.
