A 50-year-old male patient with hepatocellular carcinoma received DEB-TACE combined with CSMs and 5-Fluorouracil. (a) Preoperative enhanced CT revealed lesions located in the dome of the right hepatic lobe with uneven enhancement. (b-c) Intraoperative DSA angiography showed rich tumor vasculature, which significantly decreased after embolization with CSMs mixed with iodized oil. (d-f) Follow-up enhanced CT at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively revealed iodized oil deposition within the tumor, with gradual reduction in volume and absence of obvious enhancing components, suggesting complete remission.
