All of the percutaneous techniques are limited by the size and number of the lesions (up to three lesions each measuring up to 4 cm) as well as their location. Subdiaphragmatic lesions may be percutaneously inaccessible, and lesions close to large vascular structures respond poorly to thermal ablation techniques (RFA, MCT, Cryo, and LIPC). On the contrary, intra-arterial techniques are not limited by the number, size, or location of the lesions rather by the hepatic function reserve, as shown in Table 10.2.
