Abstract:Objectives:
The initial drug-eluting bead (DEB)-transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) are often performed after multiple sessions of transarterial infusion chemotherapy (TAI) or conventional TACE. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the factors associated with the occurrence of vascular lake phenomenon (VLP) during DEB-TACE, considering the previous interventional treatments.
Material and Methods:
Forty-nine initial DEB-TACE procedures in 49 patients between November 2010 and April 2024 were included i… Show more
