Transpancreatic catheterization of the right hepatic artery for chemoembolization using a new infusion system

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1988;14(2):115-7. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810140212.

Abstract

The right hepatic artery was catheterized for chemoembolization in a patient with liver-dominant metastatic breast carcinoma and occlusion of the celiac artery by tumor compression. This was accomplished by use of a new coaxial infusion catheter-steerable guidewire system passed through the superior mesenteric artery and posterior pancreatic arcade.
