Vascular Plug-Assisted Chemoembolization of a Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Associated Arteriovenous Shunt.

The following case demonstrates the use of an AVP to occlude an arteriosystemic shunt during transarterial chemoembolization and the treatment response. Follow-up MR imaging 1 month after treatment (Fig 1b) showed progression of the segment 3 lesion with treatment response of the segment 6 lesion. 1 S. Murata, H. Tajima, Y.
