Abstract | METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL METHODS: In cases of portal vein thrombosis SIRT is the alternative to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). PERFORMANCE: The role of SIRT regarding downstaging and bridging to transplantation is promising and SIRT has also been shown to be highly effective and well-tolerated in metastastic liver disease. ACHIEVEMENTS: The results of prospective randomized trials are awaited to prove the efficiency and safety of SIRT described in numerous retrospective and prospective non-randomized studies. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: The indications are established within the framework of a tumor board.
