Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We assess the usefulness of microwave hepatic tumor coagulation therapy with balloon occlusion of segmental hepatic blood flow for eight recurrent metastatic hepatic tumors in seven patients. CONCLUSION: Limited early experience with microwave hepatic tumor coagulation therapy and segmental hepatic blood flow occlusion has been positive, suggesting that further clinical evaluation is warranted.
