PG - 965-71 LID - S1051-0443(15)00296-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jvir.2015.03.020 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To assess the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) in the form of clinical symptoms and liver/biliary injuries (LBI) in patients with hepatic malignancies treated with transarterial chemoembolization using 70-150 mum drug-eluting beads (DEBs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-institution retrospective analysis was performed in 37 patients (25 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and 12 patients with metastatic disease) who underwent 43 sessions of segmental/subsegmental 70-150 mum DEB transarterial chemoembolization with doxorubicin (38 sessions) or irinotecan (5 sessions). Patient inclusion criteria included the presence of the following lesion features: small diameter (
