[Palliation for a recurrent lung cancer patient with superior vena cava syndrome by arterial infusion of CDDP through the implantable port system--a case report].
A case of lung cancer with superior vena cava syndrome treated with internal thoracic arterial infusion of anti-cancer drugs by the implantable port system was reported with our technique. In this case, blood supply was mainly from internal thoracic artery. A trans-catheterial contrast enhanced helical CT was very helpful to identify the routes of blood supply to the lung cancer.
