ResumoTo provide intraarterial chemotherapy of the liver in 30 outpatients with colorectal cancer metastases and other malignancies, 32 catheter-port systems were implanted percutaneously via the femoral artery. Mean patency was 229 days. Percutaneous placement was feasible and safe. Compared with surgical placement, the overall complication rate (12%) was comparable or less.
