Liver Intraarterial Chemotherapy: Use of the Femoral Artery for Percutaneous Implantation of Catheter-Port Systems¹

¹ From the Institute of Clinical Radiology, Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Grosshadern Marchioninistr 15, D-81377 Munich, Germany. Received September 21, 1998; revision requested November 20; final revision received July 8, 1999; accepted July 30. Address reprint requests to K.A.H. (e-mail: herrmann@ikra.med.uni-muenchen.de).

To provide intraarterial chemotherapy of the liver in 30 outpatients with colorectal cancer metastases and other malignancies, 32 catheter-port systems were implanted percutaneously via the femoral artery. Mean patency was 229 days. Percutaneous placement was feasible and safe. Compared with surgical placement, the overall complication rate (12%) was comparable or less.
