sclerotherapy arm
The liver mass will be punctured under guidance of ultrasonography with a 20- or 22-gauge Chiba needle. Contrast medium will be injected under fluoroscopy guidance to assess any possible communication with the biliary tree and to evaluate the amount of sclerosing agent which could be safely injected. Then, the mixture of Bleomycin (Bleocin-S; Korea United Pharm Inc., South Korea) and Lipiodol (Ultra-Fluid, Guerbet, France) will be slowly injected under continuous guidance of fluoroscopy. No more than 45 units of Bleomycin and 15 cc of Lipiodol will be injected in a single session.
