14 Discussion Epidemiology Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary liver cancer and fifth most common cancer in the world Portal vein involvement in 26 80%; hepatic vein involvement in 11 23%; IVC involvement in %; intracardiac involvment in % Direct extension (75%), isolated metastasis (25%) Tse et al: 18 consecutive candidates for resection of HCC intracardiac involvement in 1 on TTE (6%) and 2 on TEE (11%)

15 Discussion Presentation Finding Age (average, range) % (# cases/# information available) 55, 8-83 (n=119) Gender (male) 71% (119) Symptoms (any) 91% (103/113) Right heart failure 72% (81/113) Abdominal pain or swelling 60% (62/103) Dyspnea 37% (38/103) Lower-extremity edema 63% (49/77) Tachycardia 39% (30/77) JVD 25% (19/77) Abnormal heart sounds 25% (19/77) Abnormal ECG 36% (21/58) Elevated AFP 77% (40/52)

16 Discussion Pathology Finding % (# cases/# information available) New diagnosis of HCC 63% (52/83) Satellite lesions 38% (45/119) Extrahepatic, non-cardiovascular metastases 42% (50/119) Lung metastases 35% (42/119) Lymph node metastases 8% (9/119) Pulmonary embolism 20% 924/119)

19 Discussion Angiography Celiac angiography thread and streaks Vena cavography Ventriculography Dazai et al., 1989.

20 Discussion Echocardiography Simple, fast, safe, cheap, convenient Image myocardium and chambers Real time imaging with dynamic information about mobility and blood flow (using doppler) Limited views and resolution Limited by body habitus, operator TEE more sensitive; however, may be contraindicated in HCC patients with varices

21 Discussion TEE

22 Discussion CT Fast, available, high resolution Evaluate size, location, extent of disease (myocardial or intraluminal invasion) calcifications, and relationship with adjacent structures Screening, surveillance Limited planes Radiation and contrast exposure

23 Discussion MRI More expensive Discriminate between different tissues Tumor has medium signal intensity on T1 Thrombus has high signal intensity on T1 Image multiple planes Evaluate structural and anatomical relationships, mobility of mass, myocardial function, and blood flow Goldfarb et al: 20 patients with surgically confirmed vena caval tumor with thrombus extension from retroperitoneal tumors MRI identified tumor/thrombus in 100%, delineated extent in 100% CT identified tumor/thrombus in 100%, delineated extent in 33%.
