Percutaneously implantable catheter-port system for chemotherapeutic infusion through the hepatic artery.

OBJECTIVE. The goal of this study was to determine the feasibility and outcomes of per cutaneously implantable catheter-port system placement in the hepatic artery for the purpose of intraarterial chemotherapeutic infusion, CONCLUSION. Percutaneously implantable catheter-port system placement is safe and technically feasible for use in the hepatic artery, The implantation procedure is less invasive than surgical implantation of similar port systems.
