[Treatment of hepatic malignancies with implantation of a venous port into the portal vein].
The report deals with venous port implantion into the portal vein to conduct both single and continuous courses of regional chemotherapy without recourse to repeat puncture and catheterization of the vein to avoid hemorrhagic complications and arterioportal fistula. Application of repeat courses of intraportal chemotherapy might make use of ultrasound and X-ray equipment to monitor the catheter position in portal vein lumen as well as unauthorized drug consumption unnecessary. Catheterization of the portal vein across the adjacent edge of the liver seals the punctured hole reliably with a U-shaped suture which prevents bleeding into the abdomen and secures the catheter in place.
