title: [Surgical technics for implantation of hepatic intra-arterial catheters for local chemotherapy. Experience with 42 cases].
abstract: Based on the experience of 42 cases of surgical implantation of hepatic intra-arterial catheters (HIAC) for local chemotherapy, the techniques used are analyzed principally as a function of anatomical variations of the hepatic artery. A conventional procedure (HIAC implanted into gastroduodenal artery) was performed in 60% of cases, while in 26% of patients this was possible only after section of a right and/or left hepatic artery. Atypical implantation was necessary in 14% of cases to ensure complete perfusion of liver. The different methods employed and the reasons for their choice are discussed.
