Fig. 4A. —56-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma in whom port-catheter was placed with modified fixed catheter tip technique. Arteriogram via port obtained just after implanting port-catheter system shows that indwelling port-catheter system is precisely implanted percutaneously. However, although blood flow is not seen in segment of gastroduodenal artery in which embolic agents (thin arrows) were inserted, hepatofugal blood flow beyond indwelling catheter tip is seen (thick arrows), which suggests that inside lumen of catheter between side hole and end hole is not sufficiently closed. Note that five microcoils and mixture of n-butyl cyanoacrylate and Lipiodol (iodized oil, Guerbet) (thin arrows) were put into gastroduodenal artery. These five microcoils include microcoil positioned (arrowhead) in right gastroepiploic artery beyond tip of indwelling catheter.
