主 题:Chemoembolization hepatocellular carcinoma procedural time angiographic room management
摘 要:Aim:The present study evaluated the duration of chemoembolization in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma,analyzing possible factors affecting the procedural ***:In total,175 patients who underwent chemoembolization have been prospectively *** procedural length was considered the time between the insertion and the removal of the angiographic *** features related to the tumor burden and angiographic procedures,which could be related to the procedural time,were ***:The chemoembolization time resulted in a mean of 58.1 *** longer procedural time was associated with a number of nodules treated per patient≥2(P0.001),a number of segments with nodules≥2(P0.001),the presence of more than 1 nodule in the same segment(P0.001),the location of the tumor in the left lobe(P=0.001),the exclusion from the Milan criteria(P0.001),and a number of segments treated≥2(P0.001).Only the number of nodules treated per patient resulted significantly in multivariate analysis(OR 2.927,95%CI:2.015-4.251,P0.001).Conclusion:The factors related to longer procedural time are the number of nodules treated≥2,the number of segments with nodules≥2,the involvement of the left lobe,the tumor burden outside the Milan criteria,and the number of segments treated≥*** these characteristics,known in the pre-procedural phase,represent useful tools for a correct planning of the angiographic room’s workflow during the pandemic era as well as in the future to reduce downtime and increase productivity.
