OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to evaluate retrospectively the usefulness and complications associated with a temporary indwelling catheter system through the brachial artery for patients with liver tumors.

CONCLUSION. The temporary indwelling catheter system via the left brachial artery can be used not only for CO2-enhanced sonographically guided aspiration biopsy, radiofrequency ablation, and percutaneous ethanol injection, but also for short-term hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.

Keywords: catheters • interventional radiology • hepatocellular carcinoma • liver • port-catheter system • CO2-enhanced sonography
