Hepatopulmonary shunting in patients with primary and secondary liver tumors scheduled for radioembolization

Highlights • We try to find predictive factors for hepatopulmonary shunting. • Hypervascularized tumors have higher shunts than low vascularized tumors. • HCC and colorectal cancer are associated with higher shunts than breast cancer. • Portal vein occlusion is associated with increased hepatopulmon...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We try to find predictive factors for hepatopulmonary shunting. • Hypervascularized tumors have higher shunts than low vascularized tumors. • HCC and colorectal cancer are associated with higher shunts than breast cancer. • Portal vein occlusion is associated with increased hepatopulmonary shunting. • There is poor correlation of hepatopulmonary shunting and tumor or liver volume.
