Excerpt

While prophylactic embolization of hepaticoenteric arteries may not be necessary in the majority of patients who have been referred for yttrium-90 (90Y) radioembolization (RE), it is important to note that some patients have hepaticoenteric arteries that should be coil embolized to prevent gastrointestinal complications due to inadvertent extrahepatic deposition of activity. …
