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

A new alternative technique for regional perfusion chemotherapy in the presence 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 native flow and achieves homogeneous distribution of the chemotherapeutic agent.
