Subjects And Methods: Sixty-one patients (40 men and 2l women; mean age, 59 years) with advanced liver cancers (primary hepatic or biliary cancer [n = 31] and metastatic liver cancer [n = 30]) underwent percutaneous port-catheter placement with the tip of W-spiral catheter inserted into the right gastroepiploic artery and the side-hole opened at the common hepatic artery after embolization of the right gastric artery, pancreaticoduodenal arteries, or aberrant hepatic arteries. Pericatheter embolization for preventing catheter dislodgement was not performed.
