Primary objectives of the study were to assess the safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) using DC Bead LUMI™ for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and beads distribution after TACE.
PATIENTS/METHODS: This was a prospective observational cohort study. The study included 44 hepatocellular carcinoma patients who were treated with TACE using DC Bead LUMI. Beads distribution was monitored 1 h after TACE by CT scan.
TACE had no intraprocedural complications. Observed side effects were of mild intensity and included pain in 5 (11%), fever in 4 (9%) and vomiting in 2 (5%) patients. Most patients (89%) reported no adverse event. Non-target distribution was observed in only two cases (5%).
DC Bead LUMI allowed assessing in real time their distribution. This could prevent non-target infusion and reduce toxicity.
本研究的主要目的是评估使用 DC Bead LUMI™进行经动脉化疗栓塞(TACE)治疗肝细胞癌的安全性和 TACE 后微球的分布情况。
患者/方法:这是一项前瞻性观察性队列研究。研究纳入了 44 例接受 DC Bead LUMI 进行 TACE 治疗的肝细胞癌患者。在 TACE 后 1 小时通过 CT 扫描监测微球的分布情况。
TACE 无术中并发症。观察到的副作用为轻度,包括 5 例(11%)疼痛、4 例(9%)发热和 2 例(5%)呕吐。大多数患者(89%)无不良事件报告。只有 2 例(5%)观察到非靶区分布。
DC Bead LUMI 允许实时评估其分布情况。这可以防止非靶区输注并降低毒性。
