Popis: To determine the rate of prophylactic embolization of extrahepatic vessels in patients undergoing yttrium-90 selective internal radiotherapy (90Y SIRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with the use of catheter-directed computed tomography hepatic angiography (CD-CTHA). This retrospective study included 186 HCC patients who received 90Y SIRT from May 2010 to June 2015 in a single institution. All procedures were performed in a hybrid angiography-CT suite equipped with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and CD-CTHA capabilities. CD-CTHA was performed during pre-treatment hepatic angiography. 90Y SIRT was administered approximately 2 weeks later. Selective prophylactic embolization of extrahepatic vessels was performed if extrahepatic enhancement was seen on CD-CTHA or if an extrahepatic vessel opacified on DSA/CD-CTHA despite the final microcatheter position for 90Y microsphere delivery being beyond the origin of this vessel. Thirty-five patients (18.8%) required selective embolization of extrahepatic vessels. Technical success of 90Y SIRT was 99.5%. Two patients (1.1%) developed radiation-induced gastrointestinal ulceration, and one (0.54%) developed radiation-induced pneumonitis. Extrahepatic uptake of 90Y microspheres was seen in the gallbladder of one patient without significant complications. The use of CD-CTHA in 90Y SIRT of HCC was associated with a low rate of prophylactic embolization of extrahepatic vessels while maintaining a high technical success rate of treatment and low rate of complications. Level 4, case series.
