Abstract:
X-ray-visible embolic microsphere (XEM) is a type of embolic microsphere that incorporates radiopaque substances within its matrix or on its surface, enabling visualization under X-ray imaging. This capability provides real-time intraprocedural feedback during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), which helps optimize embolization outcomes and facilitates post-procedural evaluation. This article summarizes recent advances in the application of XEM in TACE and discusses the challenges associated with its clinical translation, with the aim of promoting the further development and clinical utilization of this technology.
