Balloon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: History, background, and the roles

Super-selective lipiodol balloon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization (SSLB-TACE) increases lipiodol accumulation in the targeted nodule. To understand the mechanism of increased accumulation, it is necessary to understand intra-hepatic collateral system and rheology of lipiodol. Although SSLB-T...
