Purpose To reveal the mechanism of dense accumulation of lipiodol emulsion (LE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during selective balloon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization (B-TACE). Methods Balloon-occluded arterial stump pressure (BOASP) at the embolization portion was measured during selec...
