Abstract:
For interventional therapy of hepatic carcinoma, the anatomical pathway and the variation of complex vessels often cause difficulties in performing super-selective catheterization, or even result in catheterization failure. Understanding of the vascular variations and finding out the effective technique of catheterization can surely reduce the radiation exposure dose to both the operators and patients, and in the same time, can increase the successful rate of super-selective catheterization, which will undoubtedly improve the curative effect. More than 30 thousand times of interventional managements for hepatic carcinoma have been performed in our hospital, from which the author has selected some successful cases as well as some unsuccessful cases to make a technical analysis in order to sum up the experience of super-selective catheterization for clinical physicians' reference.
