Abstract:
This is a report of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma whose hepatic arterial catheter, which was introduced via a subclavian arterial branch, migrated into his right gastric artery. The catheter was successfully maneuvered to a suitable position without any further invasive procedure. The importance of preparatory embolization of the right gastric artery is underscored.

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
