This case report describes the chemoembolization of a small hepatocellular carcinoma employing a lipiodol drug delivery system utilizing a novel arterial pathway. Because the target lesion was precariously located adjacent to the inferior heart border and the diaphragm, it was unsuitable for imaging-guided microwave ablation. To achieve chemoembolization, several intraprocedural adaptations were necessary, given the variant anatomy encountered and difficulty accessing the left gastric artery through a celiac artery approach. The left gastric artery was selected from a superior mesenteric artery approach through the pancreaticoduodenal arcade (Rio Branco’s arcade). This case illustrates the importance of a mastery of the vascular anatomy and variants of hepatic arterial flow.

Radiofrequency ablation is one of the most commonly used therapies for potentially curative small hepatocellular carcinoma. Although radiofrequency is usually a safe procedure, severe and potentially fatal complications can happen. This is a case of a 72 years old woman with cirrhosis secondary to Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD), who presented recurrent hydrothorax after treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and in which diaphragmatic perforation was subsequently diagnosed. We reviewed the differential diagnosis and management in a pleural effusion after a radiofrequency procedure. Although diaphragmatic perforation is an uncommon complication after RFA procedure, this case aims to help clinicians being aware of non-habitual complications.

Arterial Chemoembolization

<p>Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is considered as a major method to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) has been used to treat patients with advanced HCC. This case report documents the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of TACE and laparoscopic ALPPS to treat the unresectable HCC of the right liver with right intra-hepatic metastasis in a male patient. Percutaneous and trans-femoral artery TACE was performed preoperatively, and the ALPPS stage-I at the 4th week and stage-II after 14 days was carried out. Postoperative outcome was assessed after 180 days of follow-up. It is concluded that preoperative TACE and laparoscopic ALPPS offer a fine treatment alternative to the patients with insufficient residual liver volume and relatively-advanced and extensive HCC.</p>
