Description
Xiang-Dong Wang, Nai-Jian Ge, and Ye-Fa Yang report a case where closing an abnormal blood shunt made a liver cancer treatment possible. The patient had advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with a strong shunt from the tumor artery into the portal vein. Such shunts bar radioactive bead therapy, since beads could stray into the liver or lungs.
Scans confirmed the shortcut. The team blocked the right portal vein outlet with an embolization procedure during the mapping session. Follow-up imaging showed the shunt fully closed, and a tracer test found a low lung shunt share. The radioactive treatment then went ahead safely, with no major complications. The authors call the approach feasible for similar cases.
