Impact of C-arm CT in Patients With HCC Undergoing TACE: Optimal Imaging Guidance
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00926536
Purpose
Patients will be enrolled based on presence of HCC and eligibility for TACE. They will be
randomized to one of two arms for imaging navigation to the optimal catheter location for
chemotherapy injection to treat the first (possibly sole) tumor target. The two arms will be:
TACE using C-arm CT supplemented by DSA or DSA only (only DSA images will be used for
navigation and tumor vessel tracking). Navigation to subsequent treatment targets in all
patients will be done with fluoroscopy, CACT, and DSA, as is standard of care at Stanford
University Medical Center, and is not part of the study. Vascular complexity, which affects
navigation difficulty and thus the need for imaging, will be assessed separately for use in
data analysis by two radiologists on a four-point scale.
