    Author: Genov I, Grigorov N, Mitova R, Golemanov B, Dinkov L, Donov M.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Sofiia); 2005; (4-5):16-9. PubMed ID: 18693511.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To establish the effectiveness of large-volume percutaneous ethanol injection under general anesthesia (Shot-PEI) as a local method for destruction of large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: 46 patients with 48 HCC were treated with Shot-PEI. 1-4 sessions per lesion were performed with 12-138 ml ethanol per session. RESULTS: Complete destruction was achieved in 43.8% of the tumors. Major complications occurred in 10.9% of the patients. Local recurrences were 19%. CONCLUSION: Shot-PEI is an effective method for destruction of large tumors and multiplies the therapeutic options in HCC.
