title: An improved technique for regional perfusion chemotherapy in the presence of a replaced right hepatic artery using a single implantable pump.
abstract: A new technique is described for regional perfusion chemotherapy in the presence of a replaced right hepatic artery. By anastomosis of the replaced right hepatic artery end-to-side to the left hepatic artery, a single implantable pump can be used to perfuse both lobes of the liver. This technique has the advantage of facilitating postoperative follow-up and substantially reducing the cost of the procedure.
