There is a wide range of liver and biliary interventional procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, most commonly using CT-guidance or ultrasound-guidance.  

Percutaneous transhepatic biliary interventions
Vascular Interventions
Percutaneous liver biopsy
Percutaneous collections drainage
Interventional oncologic therapeutic procedures
  • transarterial tumour embolizationembolisation: method that promotes tumour destruction through a combination of embolization of its supplier arteries, often combined with locoregional chemotherapy
    • bland embolizationembolisation
    • transarterial chemoembolizationchemoembolisation (TACE)
    • transarterial chemoembolizationchemoembolisation with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE)
    • hepatic radioembolizationradioembolisation
  • tumour ablations: percutaneous local tumor destruction using a device to cause a focused zone of cell death
    • thermal ablation techniques
      • radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
      • microwave ablation
      • cryoablation
    • irreversible electroporation
