Fig. 1E —Four types of catheter placement methods. Schematic diagram shows modified fixed catheter tip method. Long tapered side-hole catheter is implanted, in which 2.7-French, 20-cm-long distal loop of catheter is inserted in hepatic artery, with side hole placed in common hepatic artery, and tip and distal shaft of catheter fixed in gastroduodenal artery by coils (arrows). Even if coils do not reach around catheter tip, lumen of tip of 2.7-French catheter is coagulated and closed spontaneously. Right gastric artery is then embolized by coils (arrowhead).
