Fig. 4. A 70-year-old male with liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C virus. (A) Contrast enhanced computed tomography showed hyperattenuation under the liver capsule in anterior inferior segment (white arrow) which was diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma. Portal-hepatic venous shunt was also shown in posterior inferior segment (open arrow). (B) The tip of 1.5-Fr microcatheter was superselectively inserted to the distal portion of anterior inferior segment. The tumor stain was well depicted (arrow). (C) After conventional transarterial chemoembolization, the tumor stain disappeared and other branches of the hepatic artery within the anterior inferior segment of the non-embolized area are delineated, and the hepatic parenchyma remains densely stained (open arrow).
