Fig. 1A. —Schematic diagram of desired catheter position and occluded vessels for infusion using fixed catheter tip method and gastroduodenal artery. In original fixed catheter tip method, tip of catheter (thick arrow) is located in gastroduodenal artery, and side-hole (small arrowhead) through which anticancer drugs are infused via port and distributed to intrahepatic arterial branches is open toward common hepatic artery. Inside lumen of catheter tip is occluded with microcoil (long thin arrow). Catheter tip is tightly fixed in gastroduodenal artery with microcoils (short arrows) and mixture of n-butyl cyanoacrylate and Lipiodol (iodized oil, Guerbet) (large arrowhead) placed on outside of catheter. Right gastric artery and branches of pancreaticoduodenal arcade are embolized with microcoils. Note that side hole is created at region where diameter begins to taper (curved arrow) from 5 to 2.7 French. Diameter of implanted catheter positioned in common hepatic artery and celiac artery is 5 French. A = celiac artery, B = left gastric artery, C = splenic artery, D = common hepatic artery, E = gastroduodenal artery, F = proper hepatic artery, G = right gastric artery
