A Randomized Clinical Study of Precision TACE (P-TACE) With Surefire Infusion Catheter Versus Standard Endhole Catheter (E-TACE) Utilizing Radiopaque Drug Eluting Beads (LUMI) in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
The purpose of this research study is to learn about 2 types of FDA-approved catheters used
in angiographic (X-ray of blood vessels, with radiopaque substance) procedures like DEB-TACE
treatment. The Principal Investigator will check the beads given during the DEB-TACE. They
will compare the way in which they are spread out in the tumor and density (how condensed
something is).
