Increasing data on treatment of liver metastases with locoregional therapies have solidified the expanding role of interventional radiologists (IRs) in the treatment of liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Ablative approaches such as radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation have shown durable eradication of tumors. Catheter-directed therapies such as transarterial chemoembolization, drug-eluting beads, yttrium-90 radioembolization, and intra-arterial chemotherapy ports represent potential techniques for managing patients with unresectable liver metastases. Understanding the timing and role of these techniques in multidisciplinary care of patients is crucial. Implementation of IRs for consultation enables better integration of these therapies into patients' overall care.

D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
