Abstract No. 423 Comparative evaluation of particle distribution after hepatic embolization with an end-hole microcatheter and the surefire infusion system microcatheter in a woodchuck hepatocellular carcinoma model

To evaluate the differences in particle distribution after embolization using a standard end-hole microcatheter (EHM) and the surefire infusion system (SIS) microcatheter in a woodchuck HCC model. This was an institutional IACUC approved study. A total of 3 woodchucks virally infected with the woodchuck hepatitis virus with imaging evidence of HCC were included in the study. One animal underwent hepatic embolization with a 2.4 Fr Progreat...
