Transcatheter Embolization for the Treatment of Misperfusion After Hepatic Artery Chemoinfusion Pump Implantation

Transcatheter Embolization for the Treatment of Misperfusion After Hepatic Artery Chemoinfusion... Background: The use of surgically implanted chemoinfusion pumps for the treatment of hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma can be complicated by intra- or extrahepatic misperfusion. This may result in suboptimal tumor exposure to the chemotherapeutic agent and injury to other gastrointestinal organs. Misperfusion can be managed by selective arterial transcatheter embolization. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Annals of Surgical Oncology Springer Journals

Abstract

Background: The use of surgically implanted chemoinfusion pumps for the treatment of hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma can be complicated by intra- or extrahepatic misperfusion. This may result in suboptimal tumor exposure to the chemotherapeutic agent and injury to other gastrointestinal organs. Misperfusion can be managed by selective arterial transcatheter embolization.
