Abstract
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. 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.
