Balloon Assisted Transarterial Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
October 19, 2022 updated by: Simon Yu, Chinese University of Hong Kong
Balloon Assisted Transarterial Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a Study on the Proof of Treatment Concept and Exploration of Selection Criteria for Clinical Application
To prove the treatment concept of the use of balloon assistance in transarterial therapy for HCC.

Detailed Description
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been playing an important role in the treatment algorithm for patients with multifocal or large intrahepatic lesions of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) not eligible for surgical resection, transplantation, or local ablative therapy.
The use of balloon assisted TACE has been proposed recently and it could be one of the possible ways to improve the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target tumor and therefore leading to improved treatment outcome.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Ballloon catheter
Balloon-assisted transarterial therapy will be performed in the first treatment session only
|
use of a balloon catheter for providing balloon occlusion, in addition to the standard microcatheter for drug delivery, both catheters are to be placed in parallel through a single guide catheter.
Only one arterial puncture wound is involved.
The inflated balloon provides temporary occlusion of all arterial tumor feeders except for the one which is selectively catheterized with a microcatheter for delivery of the therapeutic agent.
The therapeutic agent consists of Lipiodol mixed with a chemotherapeutic drug, it is delivered through the microcatheter under fluoroscopic control.
