The TACE method:- TACE was performed with a 4-6 week treatment interval. Patients with bilobar disease had therapy to control disease in the lobe with the highest tumour load as determined by an MRI taken just before the procedure; the second lobe was treated in a separate session. After a selective catheterization of the mesenteric artery ruled out the presence of a right hepatic artery, indirect portography was used to outline the portal circulation in the venous phase.
