What is the recommended injector rate for celiac injections in TACE/SIRT?

The recommended injector rate for celiac injections in Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) or Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) is typically set at 10 ml/s. This rate is optimal for ensuring adequate distribution of the contrast agent and therapeutic agents within the target vascular territory while minimizing the risk of complications. A moderate injector rate allows for effective flow dynamics, ensuring that the agent reaches the tumor while also aiding in the visualization of the vascular supply during the procedure.

Choosing a rate that is too high could lead to unintended extravasation or complications, while rates that are too low may not achieve adequate tumor saturation or imaging quality. Thus, 10 ml/s strikes a balance that is endorsed in clinical practice for both safety and effectiveness in these specific interventional radiology procedures.
