Fig. 3A. 59-year-old woman with liver metastasis from colon in whom
port-catheter was placed with modified fixed catheter tip technique
Arteriogram obtained via 5-French catheter (small arrowhead) inserted
from left subclavian artery shows good distribution into all intrahepatic
arterial branches. In this patient, replaced right hepatic artery arising from
superior mesenteric artery had been embolized with coils and n-butyl
cyanoacrylate and Lipiodol (iodized oil, Guerbet) mixture (large
arrowhead), and replaced left hepatic artery arising from left gastric
artery had been embolized with coils (thick arrow) to redistribute
hepatic arterial flow to allow complete hepatic coverage via a single infusion
catheter before port-catheter placement. Note microcoils that were inserted
into right gastric artery (thin arrow).
