Abstract
We reviewed cutaneous complications in 14 patients with 18 HCCs who had undergone 17 treatment procedures via the IMA including selective transcatheter arterial infusion chemotherapy with Lipiodol LipTAI n = 3 selective LipTAI + transcatheter arterial embolization TAE n = 3 nonselective LipTAI n = 1 nonselective LipTAI + TAE n = 5 and nonselective TAE n = 5 The filling and nonfilling of subcutaneous vessels with Lipiodol was examined on postoperative computed tomography CT scansSkin rash n = 3 and ulceration n = 1 occurred after 4 of 17 24 procedures two of three selective LipTAI procedures and two of five nonselective LipTAI + TAE procedures The doses of chemotherapeutic agents for tumor sizes in selective LipTAI procedures were higher than those in selective LipTAI + TAE procedures Cutaneous complications were encountered after two of three procedures with filling but not after any of eight procedures without filling
