Endpoint of embolization: A study of transarterial chemoembolization in patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: For patients with large HCC tumors with a limited number of supporting arteries, careful attention should be paid to the use of embolic agents during the TACE procedure. Rather than proceeding to complete embolization of the artery root, embolization can be terminated when the main tumor feeding artery is still faintly visible on an angiogram in a structure reminiscent of a tree with dry branches, thereby reducing adverse outcomes in patients.
