Abstract

The influence of the interventional treatment approach for transarterial radioembolization (TARE) on the incidence of extrahepatic microsphere depositions and to angiographic complications was evaluated. In total, 398 TARE cycles were analyzed. Interventional treatment approaches were classified as single treatment position (TP) with interventional occlusion (IO), multiple TPs without IO, and multiple TPs with IO. Correlations with extrahepatic microsphere depositions, angiographic complications, and periprocedural clinical events were performed. Alternative treatment strategies were evaluated. Applications from multiple TPs could have ensured the safe application of microspheres in 48.2% of cases that were originally performed from a single TP after IO. Extrahepatic microsphere accumulations were detected after 5.2%, 5.3%, and 1.5% of TARE procedures from a single TP without IO, a single TP with IO, and multiple TPs without IO, respectively. Applications from multiple TPs did not increase angiographic complications. During the 30-day follow-up, nausea/vomiting and upper abdominal discomfort were observed more frequently in the group with IO than in the group without IO (7.9%/4.6% and 9.2%/5.9%, respectively). In many TARE procedures, the same target liver can be treated from multiple TPs instead of a single TP, reducing the need for the interventional occlusion of aberrant arteries and potential extrahepatic microsphere depositions.
