Percutaneous intravascular ethanol injection of the supplying vessel of the tumor using color Doppler imaging was performed in three patients (three lesions) with hepatocellular carcinoma measuring more than 3 cm. Intravascular injection was achieved in six out ot seven attempts. The total amount of ethanol injected intravascularly was small (10, 15,0 and 26 ml for each patient). One attempt failed and the ethanol was injected perivascularly. No serious complication was noted. After treatment, two patients showed remarkable decrease in tumor size and one showed massive tumor necrosis. In conclusion, ethanol injection using the intravascular approach may be of value in the palliative management of large hepatocellular carcinomas.
