  • Title: Hepatic artery infusion catheter implantation without embolization of the gastroduodenal artery in cases of retrograde blood flow.
    Author: Wang YJ, Lao IH, Tzeng WS, Chang YK, Wu RH, Chang SC, Chen MC, Fang JL.
    Journal: J Vasc Interv Radiol; 2010 Aug; 21(8):1297-300. PubMed ID: 20598568.
    Abstract:
    Between January 2007 and January 2008, a port/catheter system for hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy was implanted in seven patients with retrograde blood flow in the gastroduodenal artery (GDA). The GDA was not coil-embolized when the catheter tip was positioned in the right gastroepiploic artery. In all cases, implantation of the port/catheter system was successful, and there were no complications. Interventionalists can economize on expensive microcoils by using this simple and time-saving method.
