Abstract:
Objective To investigate the regular,variant and parasitic arterial blood supply in liver cancer,so as to improve the effects of treatment on liver cancer by TACE.Methods 52 liver cancer focus confirmed by pathology and imaging were retrospectively analysed First,the routine DSA was performed,if following conditions including no tumor staining or no vessel area within tumor on arterial phase and filling defect within tumor on parenchyma phase were presented,then DSA via superior mesenteric artery,left gastric artery,inferior phrenic artery,right adrenal artery,internal thoracic artery and intercostal artery were perfomed again.Results 39 focus with regular arterial blood supply(75%),13 focus with variant (25%) and 11 focus with parasitic arterial blood supply (21%) are observed .Conclusion The liver cancer focuses are mainly fed by the regular arterial blood supply of liver artery ,but still 25% are by variant arterial blood supply.The chemoembolization for liver cancer through regular ,variant and parasitic arterial blood supply can improve the therapeutic effect.
