Preoperative microcoil embolization of the common hepatic artery for pancreatic body cancer

Figure 3 Distal migration of the microcoils and the successful withdraw. A: Following celiac arteriography; B: Microcoil embolization under proximal balloon inflation (arrow) was performed; C: Microcoil migration from the common hepatic artery (CHA) to the proper hepatic artery occurred after deflation of the proximal balloon catheter; D: Under fluoroscopic guidance using the tube angle that enabled the best visualization of the CHA and with the assistance of a microwire, a microballoon catheter was then inserted through the migrated coil and inflated; E: The migrated coils were withdrawn to their original position in the CHA by the inflated balloon catheter.
