Same-day Radioembolization for Large HCC

Summary

In patients who has no sign suggesting high lung shunt fraction (TIPS, hepatic vein invasion, hepatic vein enhancement on arterial phase, dysmorphic intratumoral vessel), planning angiography, MAA scan, and radioembolization are performed in a single day with SIR-Spheres. This prospective registry will prove that the selection criteria is accurate and same-day radioembolization is feasible and safe.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:
