[Implantation of a dual chambers port for hepatic and splenic arterial infusion chemotherapy in advanced pancreatic carcinoma with multiple liver metastasis].
Dual chambers ports were implanted in 7 patients with advanced pancreatic carcinoma and metastatic liver tumors to connect a 3.3 Fr catheter as an indwelling catheter. In comparison with the implantation of a pair of Single chamber ports, implanting a Dual chambers port entails some technical difficulties, but has some benefits in terms of stabler placement, a smaller incision, reduction of medical fees, and improved QOL of patients.
