I. Di Carlo et al., A new alternative technique to preserve native flow, for continuous hepatic artery chemotherapy, in presence of a right hepatic artery arising from superior mesenteric artery, HEP-GASTRO, 46(27), 1999, pp. 1692-1694
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.
