title: Cholangitis complicating intraarterial chemotherapy in liver metastasis.
abstract: In the past 2 years at our institution, 87 patients with hepatic metastasis from colorectal carcinoma have undergone surgical implantation of an arterial pump for the direct infusion of chemotherapeutic agents into the liver. We report six cases of cholangitis complicating the course of these patients.
