Abstract
This case series describes a technique to protect nondiseased liver parenchyma during transarterial radioembolization (TARE) using microvascular plugs to occlude nontarget vessels temporarily and protect normal liver. This technique, defined as temporary vascular occlusion, was performed in 6 patients, with complete vessel occlusion obtained in 5 of the 6 patients and partial occlusion with flow reduction in 1 of the 6 patients. A statistically significant (P = .001) dose decrease of 5.7 ± 3.1 times was measured using postadministration yttrium-90 positron emission tomography/computed tomography in the protected zone compared with that in the treated zone.
期刊介绍:
JVIR, published continuously since 1990, is an international, monthly peer-reviewed interventional radiology journal. As the official journal of the Society of Interventional Radiology, JVIR is the peer-reviewed journal of choice for interventional radiologists, radiologists, cardiologists, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons, and other clinicians who seek current and reliable information on every aspect of vascular and interventional radiology. Each issue of JVIR covers critical and cutting-edge medical minimally invasive, clinical, basic research, radiological, pathological, and socioeconomic issues of importance to the field.
