Abstract
In a retrospective study, 123 patients with tumors (the majority were recurrent pelvic or breast neoplasms) underwent 376 cycles of intraarterial chemotherapy. Contrast material-enhanced computed tomography was performed to check the position of the catheter during 221 cycles. On the basis of findings, the catheter was repositioned 46 (20.8%) times because of weak contrast enhancement in the tumor region (n=24[10.9%]), involvement of neighboring healthy tissue (n=15[6.8%]), or both (n=7[3.2%]).
