Abstract

Since the early 1960s, the use of percutaneous Seldinger’s technique has enabled any visceral arterial tree to be easily reached with low invasivity for diagnostic purposes. Therapy then became the extension of angiography, and arterial infusion chemotherapy (AIC) for liver cancer was first used by Sullivan (1963). Arterial embolization of liver tumors was also performed to reduce pain in large expansive masses or for emergency hemostasis in acute blood loss, and was applied to palliative treatment of the hepatocellular carcinoma by Doyon (1974) and by Goldstein et al.(1987).
