Liver and biliary interventional procedures
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
There is a wide range of liver and biliary interventional procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, most commonly using CT-guidance or ultrasound-guidance.
Vascular Interventions:
Percutaneous interventions:
- liver biopsy (US and CT-guided)
- collections/abscess drainage
- transhepatic biliary interventions
Interventional oncologic therapeutic procedures:
-
transarterial tumour embolisation: a method that promotes tumour destruction through a combination of embolization of its supplier arteries, often combined with locoregional chemotherapy
- bland embolisation
- transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE)
- transarterial chemoembolisation with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE)
- hepatic radioembolisation (also known as selective internal radiation therapy - SIRT)
-
tumour ablation: percutaneous local tumour destruction using a device to cause a focused zone of cell death
- thermal ablation techniques
- radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
- microwave ablation (MWA)
- cryoablation
- non-thermal ablation technique
- thermal ablation techniques
