The book thoroughly presents Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE), a procedure representing the standard of care for several clinical oncological indications. Thanks to the considerable technological advances in the available instrumentation (guidewire, microcatheter, guiding imaging modalities) as well as the different platforms utilized to perform treatment (conventional TACE, drug eluted TACE, degradable starch microsphere TACE) indication for treatment has been broadened and results significantly improved. By clearly depicting the procedure, with technical details, advantages and limitations, the book provides a unique and most updated source on TACE procedures. Clinical cases regarding crucial parts of the procedure are also provided. Expert users as well as novel clinicians interested in the most recent aspects of this interventional radiology procedure will find in this book a valuable tool and guide for their clinical routine.
