3 Rational of Transarterial Chemoembolization Dual blood supply with arterial vessels feeding tumors Selective arterial drug delivery and devascularization R art = Regional advantage of arterial drug delivery (x-times compared to systemic delivery) clearance CL R art = Q A (1 - E r ) flow reduction extraction Collins 1994 drug R art 5-FU 80 Irinotecan 60 Doxorubicin 4 Mitomycin 3 Cisplatin 2

4 Lipiodol is part of conventional TACE Emulsion = water-in-oil suspension: water phase: oily phase: Embolics: Gelfoam, particles Drug(s): Doxorubicin/Epirubicin, Cisplatin, Mitomycin Iodized oil (Lipiodol ) = oily phase

5 Key of success: Preparation of W/O-Emulsion & continuous refreshing Water-in-Oil: 1:2-3 (3 cc Epirubicin+6-9 cc Lipiodol )* Slowly injection of water phase into oily phase* 3-way-stopcock: 2 syringes 10cc, Pumping-method : >30 times *Deschamps F et al.: Parameters for stable water-in-oil Lipiodol emulsion for liver transarterial chemo-embolization. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2017;40:

6 Lipiodol-TACE is superselective TACE Angiographical work up of supply Coaxial microcatheter use Flow-guided injections grade 3 S7 S1 grade 1b Intended result: Intense & complete uptake of iodized oil Grade 1-3 of Maki-classification

7 The Way of Iodized Oil & Portal Venous Overflow 6/2009 6/ /2010 The Way of iodized oil: Arterial feeder Peribiliary arterial plexus Sinusoids Portal venuoles Tumor vessels Portal venous overflow

8 Intense uptake of Lipiodol in HCC EPR-effect (enhanced permeability and retention): - interstitial deposition of macromolecules - caused by enhanced permeability of tumor vessels - lack of lymphatic drainage in tumors - deposition of iodized oil in satellites Id e JM, Guiu B: Use of Lipiodol as a drug-delivery system for transcatheter arterial chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma: A review.
