Lipiodol Deposition and Washout in Primary and Metastatic Liver Tumors After Chemoembolization.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aim

Lipiodol is the key component of conventional trans-arterial chemoembolization. Our aim was to evaluate lipiodol deposition and washout rate after conventional trans-arterial chemoembolization in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hepatic metastases originating from neuroendocrine tumors and colorectal carcinoma.

Patients and methods

This was a retrospective analysis of 44 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and liver metastasis from neuroendocrine tumors or colorectal carcinoma who underwent conventional trans-arterial chemoembolization. Lipiodol volume (cm³) was analyzed on non-contrast computed tomography imaging obtained within 24 h post conventional trans-arterial chemoembolization, and 40-220 days after conventional trans-arterial c
