Non target shunting of Tc-99m macroaggregates of albumin and radiolabeled Yttrium-90 microspheres into hepatic falciform artery - Less observed arterial variant not to be overlooked

Identification of nontarget arteries is crucial prior to Yttrium-90 microspheres radioembolization. We present a case where an uncommon nontarget artery, the hepatic falciform artery was identified during work up for radioembolization and necessary preventive measures were taken to minimize the comp...

Zusammenfassung:Identification of nontarget arteries is crucial prior to Yttrium-90 microspheres radioembolization. We present a case where an uncommon nontarget artery, the hepatic falciform artery was identified during work up for radioembolization and necessary preventive measures were taken to minimize the complications.
