Three patients with liver metastases receiving transarterial chemotherapy underwent embolization of extrahepatic collaterals to the liver under temporary balloon occlusion of the proper hepatic artery. Enhancement in the liver and tumors was observed at CT arteriography through the right inferior phrenic artery and was accentuated under balloon occlusion in all patients. A Cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol mixture was infused through the right inferior phrenic artery to occlude arterial communications with intrahepatic arteries. Better contrast agent distribution was obtained in all patients after embolization. It is suggested that this procedure can be effective for arterial redistribution against extrahepatic collaterals to the liver.
