Abstract
A new alternative technique for regional perfusion chemotherapy in the pres ence of a right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery is described. The cystic artery branch of the right hepatic artery and the gastroduodenal artery can be used to place two catheters and thus apply two implantable systems. This risk-free, straightforward technique preserves n ative flow and achieves homogeneous distribution of the chemotherapeutic ag ent.
