Background The inferior phrenic artery (IPA) is the most common extrahepatic feeder for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during transhepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Purpose To compare the incidence of diaphragmatic weakness in patients with HCC after TACE of the right IPA conducted using either N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) or gelatin sponge particles. Material and Methods Medical records of 111 patients who underwent TACE of the right IPA using NBCA were retrospectively reviewed and compared with data from 135 patients with IPA embolization using gelatin sponge particles. Results The incidence of diaphragmatic weakness after the initial TACE procedure did not significantly differ between the groups (NBCA group 16.2%; gelatin sponge group 20.7%; P = 0.458). Five patients in the NBCA group and 11 in the gelatin sponge group showed spontaneous resolution of diaphragmatic weakness after a mean period of 3.5 months. Diaphragmatic weakness developed after the initial follow-up visit in 17 patients from the gelatin sponge group due to repeated TACE of the right IPA (mean 2.4 sessions; range 2–4 sessions), while it spontaneously developed without additional TACE procedures in one patient from the NBCA group. Permanent diaphragmatic weakness was less common in the NBCA than in the gelatin sponge group (12.6% and 25.2%, respectively; P = 0.017). The complete response rate did not significantly differ between the groups (NBCA group 16.2%; gelatin sponge group 25.9%; P = 0.065). Conclusion Use of NBCA rather than gelatin sponge particles for TACE of the right IPA resulted in a lower incidence of permanent diaphragmatic weakness.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to describe the arterial arrangement of the cervical spinal cord in hare. The study was carried out on 20 adult European hares. Ten hares were used in the corrosion technique and ten hares in the dissection technique. After the killing, the vascular network was perfused with saline. Batson’s corrosion casting kit no. 17 © was used as a casting medium. After polymerisation of the medium, in ten hares the maceration was carried out in KOH solution, and in ten other hares formaldehyde was injected by the dissection technique into the vertebral canal. We found high variability in blood supply of the cervical spinal cord. The origin of the ventral spinal artery from the right vertebral artery was found on average in 65 % of the cases and from the anastomosis of two ventral spinal arteries was found on average in 35% of the cases. The presence of ventral branches of spinal branches entering the ventral spinal artery in the cervical region was observed in 37.9% of the cases on the right side and in 62.1% of the cases on the left side. The presence of dorsal branches of spinal branches was observed in 66.2% of the cases on the left side and in 33.8% of the cases on the right side.
