To test the hypotheses that greater initial body weight is associated with a relative improvement in survival with diminished fibrosis in a diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced rat model of HCC and that TAE (TAE) via femoral artery access decreases procedure times compared to carotid artery access. 138 male Wistar rats were administered 0.01% DEN in water ad libitum for 12 weeks. Rats received weekly T2-MRI to detect HCC. Upon development of ≥5mm tumors, rats underwent selective TAE via carotid or femoral artery catheterization under fluoroscopic guidance. Rats were retrospectively categorized into 3 groups (<300g, 300-400g, >400g) based on initial weight for analyses of survival, tumor latency, and fibrosis. Site of access was compared relative to procedural outcomes of success, mortality, and time. No significant differences in tumor latency were related to weight group (p=0.310). Rats weighing <300g had shorter survival time than both larger groups (mean=88d vs. 108d, p<0.0001) and more severe fibrosis (<300g median=4.0, 300-400g median=1.5, >400g median=1.0; p=0.015). No significant difference was found in peri-procedural mortality based on access site; however, procedure times were shorter via a femoral approach (mean=71+/-23min vs. 127+/-24min; p<0.0001). Greater initial body weight resulted in improved survival without prolonging tumor latency for rats with DEN-induced HCCs and was associated with less severe fibrosis. A femoral approach for TAE in this model resulted in decreased procedure time. These modifications provide a translational animal model of HCC and TAE that may be suited for short-term survival studies.
