Resumen
Radioembolization is a treatment option for combating liver cancer. It consists of administering radioactive microspheres via an intraarterially placed catheter with the aim of lodging these particles in the tumoral bed. Even though it is a safe and effective treatment, some complications may arise due to nontarget radiation. This paper re-analyzes two studies published by the authors in which the influence of several fluid mechanics-related parameters is analyzed via computer simulations. Specifically, the influence of injecting near a bifurcation is re-analyzed. Results re-indicate that particle distribution tends to match blood-flow split if the distance from the injection point to bifurcation is long enough.
