Hepatic intra-arterialport
Indications
Because hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is a
local treatment, it is most oen used in case of liver cancer
without extrahepatic disease, or in patients with predominant
hepatic disease.
1,2
Such treatment has been used mostly as salvage therapies aer failure of intravenous (IV) standard-ofcare therapies for metastases, and because response rate
remains interesting even when using the same drug that was
or became inecient with IV administration. Due to the high
response rate of HAIC, there are some recent reports and ongoing study using such therapies in rst line. e goal of such
therapies in rst line, as a so-called induction treatment, is to
obtain as early as possible in the disease the highest response
possible in order to downstage a non-surgical candidate to a
surgical candidate.2 Indeed, it has been demonstrated that the
increase in response rate of colorectal liver-only metastases
(CRLM) to treatment is linearly correlated with an increase
in resection rate, and consequently with an increased chance
of cure.3 Such induction chemotherapy targeting specically
the liver is obviously even more interesting in patients with
liver-limited disease which demonstrated a steeper slope of
the linear correlation between response and downstaging from
non-operable to surgical candidates. HAIC used in an adjuvant
setting aer liver resection has been demonstrated to increase
survival.
4
For primary tumors, and namely hepatocellular carcinoma,
the use of HAIC is less common due to the high ecacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Indications are probably
in patients not responding to TACE or not candidates for TACE
due to portal vein thrombosis or advanced liver insuciency.
HAIC is technically more challenging than systemic chemotherapy, because it requires the implantation of an indwelling
catheter in the hepatic artery that is connected to a subcutaneous port for the administration of repeated courses of HAIC.
e main drawbacks that hampered the use of HAIC were
that, until recently, the implantation of such a device required
a laparotomy, and additionally, frequent catheter dysfunction
led to discontinued treatment. For example, in a randomized
controlled study comparing HAIC with 5-uorouracil (5-FU)
to systemic 5-FU in 290 cases, 50 (37%) patients allocated to
HAIC did not start their treatment, and another 39 (29%) had
to stop before receiving six cycles of treatment because of catheter failure. Only 33% of patients received at least six courses
of HAIC vs. 78% for the IV route.7 e HAIC group received
a median of two cycles (0–6), compared to 8.5 (6–12) for the
IV group. Such problems could be reduced with the use of the
percutaneous technique for catheter implantation and revision.
Rationale
Colorectal cancer is the most frequent cancer in the Western
world, and the most common cause of death from this cancer is due to hepatic metastases. Hepatic metastases from
colorectal cancer will occur in 50–75% of patients during the
disease. Twenty percent are present at time of diagnosis and
30–50% will appear later. Even if surgery is the best treatment option for liver metastases, it will be possible in only
20% of patients, and furthermore 70% of patients who underwent surgery will develop new CRLM. Consequently, there is
a large place for chemotherapy in order to treat liver metastases. Despite the high response rate with modern regimens,
including 5-FU-oxaliplatin and 5-FU-irinotecan, there are still
non-responders who can benet from HAIC, which proved to
provide response in non-responders to the previously mentioned regimens.
Directly administering chemotherapy in the hepatic artery
oers three theoretical advantages for patients with unresectable tumors conned to the liver. Firstly, higher drug concentrations are delivered to the tumor compared with systemic
infusion. Secondly, HAIC capitalizes on the fact that liver vas-
5,6
cularization is 30% arterial and 70% portal. As liver tumors
are nearly exclusively nourished by arterial blood ow, the
drug injected into the hepatic artery will preferentially reach
the tumor. Finally, if the drug is eliminated by hepatic extraction, lower systemic concentrations and thus lower systemic
toxicities may be expected than aer systemic infusion. As
a consequence, HAIC has the main advantage of increasing drug concentrations in tumor deposits, thus resulting in
a signicant increase in response rates because many tumors

display a steep dose–response curve. e advantage for such
intra-arterial route is proportional to rst-pass extraction of
the drug by the liver and inversely proportional to body clearance of the drug. Consequently, the choice of drug is of utmost
importance. Floxuridine (FUDR) has been extensively used
for HAIC because it is extracted by the liver at more than 95%
during the rst pass, with an increase of exposure of the liver
100–300 times higher than with systemic perfusion. When
compared to IV perfusion, the estimated increase in liver
exposure by HAIC is about 20-fold for THP-Adriamycin (pirarubicin), ve–tenfold for 5-FU, four–sevenfold for cisplatin,
six–eightfold for mitomycin, fourfold for oxaliplatin, and only
twofold for doxorubicin.
All clinical trials using 5-FU or FUDR have demonstrated a
better response rate for HAIC than for IV treatments. However,
only few trials have demonstrated a benet in survival.
Intra-arterial chemotherapy was more or less abandoned at the
time IV irinotecan and oxaliplatin proved to give equivalent
response rate to intra-arterial 5-FU. However, recently a French
multicentric trial has used these new drugs intra-arterially,
with HAIC using 100mg/m2 of oxaliplatin repeated every second week, with overall response rate of 64% (95% condence
interval (CI), 44–81%) in heavily pretreated patients.10 In addition, new drug combinations including HAIC plus IV oxaliplatin and irinotecan allowed as high a rate as 88% of tumor
response.
11
Such treatment required injection scheduled every second
week and consequently it is not convenient to repeat peripheral arterial access and hepatic artery catheterization for each
subsequent course of chemotherapy. As a result, a permanent
and easy access route has to be obtained with port linked to
an intra-arterial catheter. In the past, implantation of ports
for intra-arterial hepatic chemotherapies required laparotomy. Recently, a laparoscopic approach has been reported in
a small series.12 In the past, the percutaneous approach has
been used to place the catheter in the hepatic artery for chemotherapy with the need for repeated peripheral arterial access
and hepatic artery catheterization for each subsequent chemotherapy delivery.13 Today minimally invasive techniques allow
placement of catheter/port systems for HAIC without the need
for open surgery or repeated catheterization.
manual compression of the axillary artery, which led some
teams to access the axillary artery through surgical exposure
and cutdown of the thoracic-acromial artery.15 Strokes are due
to emboli induced by the body of the catheter lying in front
of the origin of the le vertebral artery, and for some authors
retrieval or exchange of such catheter is risky enough to make
them recommend that such maneuvers should be performed
through a femoral access if possible.15 Using the femoral artery
for catheter port insertion is technically more challenging but
can be achieved nowadays in the vast majority of patients due
to improvement in endovascular material design. Furthermore,
femoral access will most oen be needed for endovascular ow
remodeling, even if the indwelling catheter is inserted through
the axillaryroute.
8,9
Arterial ow remodeling
Flow remodeling is nearly always needed before indwelling
catheter insertion, because HAIC needs to perfuse the entire
liver and only the liver through a single artery (Figure28.1).
First, replaced hepatic arteries should be occluded proximally
with stainless-steel coils, reproducing by endovascular techniques surgical ligation, in order to allow perfusion of the complete liver through a single catheter (Figure 28.2). Secondly,
arteries not feeding the liver, feeding the stomach, the duodenum, or the pancreas, which arise between the perfusion hole
in the catheter and liver, should be occluded to avoid toxicity of
extrahepatic drug perfusion. In clinical practice, the gastroduodenal artery and the right gastric artery are the more frequent
arteries requiring endovascular occlusion because it is rarely
possible to place the perfusion hole of the catheter downstream
of them. Occlusion of the right gastric artery is a key factor to
lower toxicity of infused drug to the liver, as discussed in the
results section.
Right gastric artery occlusion is probably the most technically challenging part of HAIC catheter insertion. Firstly, it is
sometimes dicult to see it on the hepatic artery angiogram;
secondly, it can arise anywhere between the common hepatic
artery and the distal part of the le branch of the hepatic
artery. When its origin cannot be seen on the hepatic artery
angiogram it is oen useful to perform selective angiogram
of the le gastric artery. In most instances retrograde injection in the right gastric artery will be seen and it will help to

14,15,16
e intercostal artery route was reported in
than the femoral route. It was preferred because it allows easier insertion of the catheter into the hepatic artery due to the
usually descending orientation of the initial part of the celiac
trunk, thus avoiding the sharp angulation encountered when
using femoral access. e disadvantages of the axillary route
are a higher rate of overall and severe complications, including up to 3% of aneurysms requiring arterial stent for treatment which induce axillary artery thrombosis,16 and 0.5–1%
of stroke.
13,15
Aneurysms are due to the diculty of access and
determine the location of the origin of the right gastric artery
from the hepatic artery (Figure28.3). Sometimes it will be
possible to perform hyperselective catheterization of the le
gastric and then retrograde catheterization of the right gastric to perform coil embolization of its origin (Figure28.3).
e absence of reported toxic eect on gallbladder makes it
unnecessary to systematically occlude vessels that feed the
gallbladder; however, a very large cystic artery should probably be occluded.
Catheter positioning
e HAIC catheter can be placed oating in the hepatic artery
lumen, with risk of migration. Stability of the catheter tip is
obtained by inserting the catheter deeply in the gastroduodenal artery or, when this is impossible, in a distal branch of the

the catheter tip is in the gastroduodenal artery, coils and/or
cyanoacrylate glue are delivered around it, in order to provide
both xation of the catheter and occlusion of the gastroduodenal artery. e distal portion of the catheter lumen, between
the side hole and the distal hole, will spontaneously occlude in
a few minutes to a few hours due to clotting. In practice, aer
the initial angiogram and occlusion of the replaced hepatic
artery and right gastric artery, the gastroduodenal artery is
catheterized as distally as possible down to the distal right epiploic artery with a microcatheter (2.4–2.8F). en a sti 0.018
guidewire is placed for over-the-wire insertion of the infusion
catheter, with its distal tip inserted in the gastroduodenal artery.
e infusion catheter has a side hole located 7–10cm from the
tip and is tapered from 5 to 2.7F (ST-305C, B.Braun Medical,
Center Valley, USA). e side hole is le in the terminal part of
the common hepatic artery and will be used for chemotherapy
drug infusion. en, occlusion of the gastroduodenal artery
around the indwelling catheter can be obtained with a second
catheter introduced through contralateral femoral puncture.
More interestingly, a microcatheter can be inserted in the
indwelling catheter and throughout the side hole and passed
down to the gastroduodenal artery for occlusion with 0.018
coils. en, the proximal part of the indwelling catheter is tunneled and attached to a port placed on either the chest wall
or the pelvic wall according to access route. Catheter maintenance means ushing with heparin solution (500IU/10mL)
aer completion of chemotherapy until the next course.
Angiographic control or radionuclide control is performed
routinely, every two courses, to check patency and perfusion
territory of the catheter.
When catheterization of the GDA is not possible, a
free-oating catheter can be placed, with its distal tip pushed
far in the intrahepatic portion of the hepatic artery, and the
side hole will be placed in the hepatic artery 1–2cm upstream
of the rst bifurcation of the hepatic artery in right and le
branches.
Contraindications

In the same manner, retrograde ow due to severe stenosis of
the celiac trunk does not allow for port-catheter placement.
e artery chosen for access (femoral or axillary) must be patent and free of any stenosis or severe atherosclerotic disease,
in order to avoid thrombosis aer insertion of the indwelling
catheter. Because material will be implanted, in order to avoid
local sepsis, the patient must not have local or general sepsis
before catheter placement. Patency of the portal system is not
mandatory but one should be aware that, in cases with compromised portal vein patency, if the indwelling catheter induces
hepatic artery thrombosis there is a risk of hepatic necrosis.
Results
Port/catheter placement
Technical success of catheter insertion is very high and close
to 100% in most series.15 In our experience the initial success
rate of the femoral approach at a rst attempt was 92% (48/52),
and the overall success of the catheter implantation was 98%
(51/52), including three patients, with a second attempt
through the femoral artery in two and a subclavian artery in
one patient.18 Catheter infusion hole migration is signicantly
higher for a free-oating catheter (50%) vs. catheter tip in
the gastroduodenal artery (14%; P=0.032) or catheter tip in
a distal hepatic artery (0%; P=0.024), without any dierence
between the lasttwo.
18
A large series of percutaneous implantation reports patency
of 91%, 81%, and 58% at 6months, 1year, and 2years, allowing
3–102 courses of chemotherapy (mean=35).15 Astudy comparing percutaneously and surgically placed catheter/ports
reported an overall incidence of device-related complications
causing temporary or denitive suppression of HAIC in 42.7%
of percutaneous placements and 7.1% of surgical ones.19 But
rates of complication are the same if the 35.7% of tip migration in the percutaneous group are not taken into account.
Indeed, such migration would not have occurred if the catheter tips had been lodged in the gastroduodenal artery instead
of being free-oating in the hepatic artery. Hospital stay and
analgesic requirements were signicantly lower in the percutaneous group (1.8±0.7days and 2±0.9 doses respectively)
than in the surgical group (8.2±22days and 9.7±3.2 doses).
Interestingly, gastroduodenal complications related to chemotherapy toxicity in cases of extrahepatic perfusion were lower
in the percutaneous group (7.1%) than in the surgical group
(17.8%).
19
In a comparative study, the success rates of implantation
were 97% (65/67) for percutaneous placement and 98% (58/59)
for surgical implantation.18 Among 107 patients, primary
functionality was not dierent for percutaneous placement
(n=4.80 courses) vs. surgical implantation (n=4.82 courses),
but functionality aer revision was signicantly higher for
percutaneous versus surgical placement (9.18 vs. 5.95 courses;
P=0.004). is increased secondary patency is due to easier
revision of percutaneous placed port versus surgical ones. e
rates of discontinuation of HAIC linked to complications of the
port-catheters were 21% for percutaneous and 34% for surgical
implantation.
18
e most common complication of HAIC is gastroduodenal ulceration due to perfusion of chemotherapy in an extrahepatic feeder that remains patent beyond the location of the
catheter tip. e main artery responsible for such complication
is the right gastric artery, which needs all possible eort to be
embolized. Indeed, gastroduodenal ulcerations are signicantly
lower (P=0.019) when the right gastric artery is embolized
than when it is not, 5%.18 e success rate of the right gastric
artery embolization signicantly improved, from 17% among
the 23 rst patients to 66% (n=16) among the 24 last ones
(P = 0.0006) due to the learning curve of the interventional
radiologist.18 Embolization of the cystic artery is not mandatory, because no cholecystitis has been reported in three series,
including altogether 153 patients with percutaneous implanted

rombosis of the hepatic artery is rare, and seems to
be related to the size of the indwelling catheter, namely when a
catheter larger than 5F is placed in the hepatic artery. Infection
of the port and femoral artery thrombosis are reported in less
than2%.
Interventional radiologists have a role to play in malfunctions aecting surgically placed hepatic arterial ports with high
ecacy for restoring complete liver perfusion in case of anatomical variation or extrahepatic perfusion not seen at time of
surgery or in case of catheter thrombosis or hepatic arterial stenosis, dissection, or occlusion.20 On the other hand, interventional radiology and endovascular maneuvers are most oen
not ecient in thrombosis or dissection of the hepatic artery.

Chemotherapy

the rst two drugs used for HAIC. eir use was supported

oxaliplatin when administered via the intra-arterial route compared to systemic administration, with a 4.3-fold increase in
drug concentration in the tumor compared to that observed in
healthy hepatic tissue.
ese pharmacological advantages of HAIC have resulted
in a signicantly increased response rate. Seven randomized
studies compared HAIC with FUDR to intravenous 5-FU,

IV 5-FU combined with folinic acid was the standard regimen

provided contradictory results.

route, especially as HAIC alone is probably less ecient
against occult extrahepatic disease. Consequently, systemic
modern drugs (irinotecan, oxaliplatin, bevacizumab, cetuximab) were introduced in HAIC regimens either given as
an injection in the hepatic artery or in combination with
HAIC-FUDR. HAI oxaliplatin combined with IV 5-FU demonstrated that an overall response rate was 62% among the
39 assessable patients, including 17, 12, and 12 patients who
had failed to respond to prior systemic chemotherapy with
FOLFIRI, FOLFOX, or both, respectively.1 In this report, further R0 surgical resection can be proposed in 18% of initially
unresectable CRLM and radiofrequency ablation in 2%.
Atriple combination including HAIC with FUDR plus IV
oxaliplatin and irinotecan provided as high as 90% of tumor
response.

More recently, 49 patients with unresectable CRLM (53%
previously treated with chemotherapy) were enrolled on to
a phase Iprotocol with HAI oxuridine and dexamethasone
plus systemic chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and irinotecan.2
In this study, more than ve CRLM were present in 73% of
patients, 98% had bilobar disease, and 86% had six segments or
more involved. Ninety-two percent of the 49 patients had complete (8%) or partial (84%) response, and 47% (23/49) of the
patients were able to undergo resection in a group of patients
with extensive disease. For chemotherapy-naïve and previously
treated patients, the median survival from the start of HAI
therapy was 50.8 and 35months, respectively.
In our center we treated 36 patients with extensive
non-resectable CRLM (≥4 LM in 86%; bilobar LM in 91%)
using HAIC with oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2 in 2 hours) plus
intravenous 5-FU-leucovorin (LV: 400 mg/m2 in 2 hours;
FU: 400 mg/m2 bolus, then 2,400 mg/m2 in 46 hours), and
cetuximab (400mg/m2, then 250mg/m2/week, or 500mg/m2
every 2 weeks) as rst-line treatment.26 Overall response rate
was 90% (95% CI, 70–99) and disease control rate was 100%
(95% CI, 84–100). Forty-eight percent of patients were downstaged to R0 resection and/or radiofrequency ablation. Aer
a median follow-up of 11 months, median progression-free
survival was 20months (median overall survival, not reached;
12- and 18-month overall survival,100%).
HAIC has demonstrated promising results in the adjuvant
setting, where 44 of 98 patients were treated with postoperative oxaliplatin HAIC combined with systemic 5-FU and 54
(55%) aer curative resection of at least four CRLMs.27 e
median number of HAIC cycles administered per patient was
seven (range, 1–12). Twenty-nine patients (66%) had received
at least six cycles of HAIC with oxaliplatin, and 22 patients
(50%) had received the full planned treatment. For the remaining 22 patients (50%), HAIC chemotherapy had been discontinued because of toxicity (n=8), HAIC catheter dysfunction
(n=6), an early recurrence (n=6), and the patient’s refusal
(n = 2). While the two groups were similar in terms of age,
sex, and the stage of the primary, 3-year overall survival was
slightly higher in the HAIC group (75% vs. 62%, P = 0.17),
and 3-year disease-free survival was signicantly longer in the
HAIC group than in the IV group (33% vs. 5%, P<0.0001). In
the multivariate analysis, adjuvant HAIC and an R0 resection
margin status were the only independent predictive factors for
prolonged disease-free survival.
e benet aorded by HAIC in the adjuvant setting has
been conrmed in a prospective study of 287 patients with
liver metastases from colorectal cancer who were randomly
assigned to receive two cycles of HAIC plus four cycles of systemic chemotherapy or six cycles of systemic chemotherapy
alone aer curative resection of colorectal liver metastases.28
e HAIC and systemic chemotherapy regimens consisted of
a 2-hour infusion of oxaliplatin (85mg/m2) on day 1 and then
folinic acid, 200mg/m2, and 5-FU 2,400mg/m2 on days 2 and
3. e group receiving HAIC enjoyed signicant benets in
3-year disease-free survival (75.00% vs. 63.27%; P = 0.0035),
overall survival (84.29% vs. 65.31%; P = 0.0006) and liver
metastasis-free survival (80.00% vs. 69.39%; P=0.0451).
Improvement in HAIC has taken advantage of the technical breakthrough of percutaneous port-catheter implantation, to be proposed early in the disease and in borderline
surgical candidates, where a massive response is needed to
convert them to surgery. Today drugs injected in the hepatic
artery are the ones used IV while some compounds might be
more appropriate for HAIC, and development and research
are needed in this eld. Some preclinical studies have demonstrated benet of HAI injection of vascular endothelial
growth factor or endothelial growth factor inhibitors in a
rat model of CRLMs:when oxaliplatin alone was not capable of inhibiting tumor growth, HAIC with cetuximab or
bevacizumab signicantly reduced tumor tissue (P< 0.05).
Moreover, HAIC with cetuximab plus bevacizumab combined with oxaliplatin inhibited even more tumor growth.29
Such HAI-targeted therapy will probably soon be explored in
clinical studies.
Venous catheters andports
Externalized central venous catheters and totally implantable
central venous access port systems are widely used to improve
venous access reliability in patients receiving a prolonged
course of cytotoxic therapy, anti-infectious chemotherapy, or
long-term parenteral nutrition. Totally implantable venous
access port systems have several advantages over externalized
catheters, including reliable venous access, low incidence of
infection, absence of maintenance, and fewer restrictions on
activities, such as bathing and sports. Ports are usually inserted
by surgeons, anesthesiologists, or radiologists.
Description
ese devices consist of a port made of titanium or plastic with
a self-sealing septum, accessible by percutaneous needle puncture, and a radiopaque catheter usually made in a well-tolerated
long-term substance, silicone or polyurethane. Most ports are
