Nontarget embolization complicating transarterial chemoembolization in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Semin Intervent Radiol

Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Department of Radiology, University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle, Washington.

Published: June 2011

Nontarget embolization during transarterial chemoembolization, although infrequent, can be a serious complication. The authors describe a case of nontarget gastric embolization to the stomach after transarterial chemoembolization and describe the published incidence of nontarget embolization to various organs, its diagnosis, treatment, and possible outcomes.

The Single Pedicle Embolization of the Distal Middle Meningeal Artery using n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) (SPEED-n technique) offers an innovative approach to treating chronic subdural hematomas by targeting the pathological subdural membranes with precise and efficient embolization.1 2 3 This technical video demonstrates the SPEED-n technique, which employs a single catheter and dilute n-BCA (15-20%) to achieve distal penetration of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) network while minimizing procedure time and risks (video 1).neurintsurg;jnis-2024-022751v1/V1F1V1Video 1-Key features include a stepwise embolization strategy, leveraging inherent MMA anastomoses to ensure comprehensive vascular coverage and reduced non-target embolization.

Systemic-to-pulmonary collaterals (SPCs) are common in congenital heart disease (CHD). Particularly in single ventricle anatomy and Fontan circulation, SPC can both complicate the postoperative course and lead to clinical deterioration in the long term. The treatment of SPC is controversial.

Objectives: This study aims to report on the application of degradable starch microspheres to provide flow diversion by means of temporary embolization of healthy tissues in oncological endovascular procedures when tumor feeding vessels are not selectively accessible.

Methods: This is a multicenter retrospective analysis of patients undergoing visceral embolization procedures of malignancies. The inclusion criteria were as follows: flow diversion performed by injection of degradable starch microspheres, visceral embolization procedures with unfeasible superselective catheterism of the target, and a malignant pathology.
