Evidence of severe cirrhosis (CHILDS B and C), portal hypertension with gastroesophageal varices and liver failure as determined by clinical, radiologic or laboratory assessment.
Previous radiotherapy delivered to the liver.
Pregnant or breast-feeding.
* With a Tc-99m macroaggregated albumin (MAA) hepatic arterial perfusion scintigraphy that shows any disposition to the gastrointestinal tract that cannot be corrected by angiographic and embolization techniques.
* With more than 20% shunting of blood to the lungs as estimated in the Lung Scintigram performed after the intraarterial injection of Tc MAA. Radiation pneumonitis has been seen in patients receiving doses of Yttrium-90 greater than 30 Gy in a single treatment. This corresponds to the shunt over 20% presence of vascular abnormalities, bleeding diathesis, making catheterization of the hepatic artery contraindication.
