[Choice of the approach in catheterization and embolization of the hepatic artery in malignant tumors of the liver]. 1990

P G Tarazov, and K V Prozorovskiĭ, and V K Ryzhkov

The results of catheterization (transfemoral and transaxial) and embolization of the hepatic artery in 67 patients with malignant hepatic tumors are analysed. In patients with hepatomegaly, the unfavourable topographic-anatomical interrelations of the intraorganic hepatic vessels were established. Distribution of the vessels more accurately is defined by means of ultrasonography. In detection of the unfavourable anatomical factors, the more wide use of primary transaxial catheterization of the hepatic arteries without an attempt of transfemoral catheterization is recommended.

D002404	Catheterization	Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions.	Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
D004621	Embolization, Therapeutic	A method of hemostasis utilizing various agents such as Gelfoam, silastic, metal, glass, or plastic pellets, autologous clot, fat, and muscle as emboli. It has been used in the treatment of spinal cord and INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS, renal arteriovenous fistulas, gastrointestinal bleeding, epistaxis, hypersplenism, certain highly vascular tumors, traumatic rupture of blood vessels, and control of operative hemorrhage.
