Abstract:
Indwelling devices for intra-arterial hepatic chemotherapy are usually implanted either surgically or percutaneously. A combined surgical-percutaneous approach to a patient with double arterial supply to the liver is presented and we suggest performing an effective hepatic chemotherapy after surgery whenever two distinct hepatic arteries are present.
