Abstract

Objective: The goal of this study was to determine the feasibility and outcomes of percutaneously 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.
