  • Title: Prevention of gastric complications in hepatic arterial chemoembolization. Balloon catheter occlusion technique.
    Author: Nakamura H, Hashimoto T, Oi H, Sawada S, Furui S.
    Journal: Acta Radiol; 1991 Jan; 32(1):81-2. PubMed ID: 1849417.
    Abstract:
    Gastric complications may be a problem in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, if the right gastric artery branches distally from the proper hepatic artery or its branch, or the accessory left gastric artery arises from the left hepatic artery. We occluded the proper hepatic artery with a balloon catheter to redirect blood flow in these gastric branches toward the liver. This procedure prevented chemoembolic agents from flowing into the gastric branches, and accordingly protected against gastric complications even when chemoembolization was performed by injecting the agents proximally to the gastric branches.
