Preoperative occlusion of the hepatic artery with isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate for resection of the "unresectable" hepatic tumor. 1978

D W Shermeta, and E S Golladay, and R I White

The case of a child with an "unresectable" hepatic tumor is presented to introduce a new technique of preoperative selective tumor vascular occlusion by means of injection of isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate on the morning of surgical resection. This technique provides a well demarcated, significantly smaller, and relatively avascular field, allowing for a safe and total removal of the hepatic neoplasm.
