The procedure typically involves the following steps:
1. Catheter Insertion: A small catheter is inserted through a tiny incision in the groin or wrist and navigated through the blood vessels to the artery supplying the tumor. 2. Drug Delivery: Chemotherapy drugs are delivered directly to the tumor via the catheter. 3. Embolization: Embolizing agents are then injected to block the artery, cutting off the tumor's blood supply. 4. Monitoring and Recovery: The patient is monitored for a few hours to ensure there are no immediate complications and is usually discharged within a day or two.
