[Chemoembolization therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma-antitumor effect and side effect].

Chemoembolization therapy with arterial injection of a mixture of various anticancer agents (CDDP, ADR, MMC) and Lipiodol along with gelfoam particles was carried out on 158 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma between January 1985 and July 1987. In two groups using CDDP the tumor regressed 50% or more in higher percentage than in the groups without CDDP. The antitumor effect was more significant in the group using CDDP and ADR than in the group using CDDP alone. No significant side effect was noted in any case.

Thermal laser-assisted angioplasty of renal artery stenosis for renovascular hypertension.

Percutaneous transluminal laser-assisted angioplasty of a renal artery stenosis was performed in a 16-year-old woman with renovascular hypertension. The stenotic portion of the renal artery was predilated by delivering Nd-YAG laser energy to the terminal tip of a laser catheter. Although the luminal diameter did not increase sufficiently with laser angioplasty alone, it allowed passage of the balloon catheter and subsequent successful balloon angioplasty. Immediately after dilatation, the patient's blood pressure fell to normal, and plasma renin activity decreased. There were no serious complications. Thermal laser angioplasty seems to be an effective adjunct technique for the treatment of severe renal artery stenosis which does not allow initial passage of a balloon catheter.
