Case Description-A 16-year-old 6.8-kg (15-lb) castrated male domestic shorthair cat was evaluated because of a 3 * 6-cm mass in the right medial lobe of the liver. Clinical Findings-The cat had a history of frequent @entity391 and @entity448 along with 10% weight loss over the past year. Treatment and @entity1416 was selected because surgery (standard first-line treatment) was declined and only 1 vessel feeding the @entity5 was apparent on contrast-enhanced CT. A 4F sheath was placed in the left carotid artery, and a 3.3F guide catheter was advanced into the celiac artery. A 0.014-inch guidewire and 1.7F microcatheter were inserted into the hepatic artery through the guiding catheter and advanced into the feeding vessel. A mixture of @entity4832 particles and contrast agent was injected for embolization. A hypoechoic area in the @entity5 was identified on ultrasonography on posttreatment day 6, and @entity39 and degenerated cells in the area were identified cytologically. By posttreatment day 71, @entity391 had resolved and CT revealed @entity5 size, but altered attenuation suggested a more solid mass on day 205. No feeding vessel for embolization was found on contrast-enhanced CT, so ultrasonic emulsification to remove the @entity5 was performed on day 231. No recurrence was seen on contrast-enhanced CT on day 420 or day 721. Clinical Relevance-Findings suggested that transcatheter @entity1416 may be suitable for treating @entity99 in @entity468 , but alternative approaches are needed in @entity468 , compared with @entity235 , owing to anatomic differences.
