PURPOSE: Previous reports have shown the effectiveness of adjuvant hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in @entity788 . However, percutaneous catheter placement is technically difficult after pancreatic surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of HAIC using a coaxial technique compared with conventional technique for postoperative @entity788 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: 93 consecutive @entity1 who received percutaneous catheter-port system placement after pancreatectomy were enrolled. In 58 @entity1 from March 2006 to August 2010 (Group A), a conventional technique with a 5-Fr indwelling catheter was used and in 35 @entity1 from September 2010 to September 2012 (Group B), a coaxial technique with a 2.7-Fr coaxial catheter was used. RESULTS: The overall technical success rates were 97.1  % in Group B and 86.2  % in Group A. In cases with arterial tortuousness and @entity850 , the success rate was significantly higher in Group B (91.7 vs. 53.8  %; P  =  0.046). Fluoroscopic and total procedure times were significantly shorter in Group B: 14.7 versus 26.7  min (P  =  0.001) and 64.8 versus 80.7  min (P  =  0.0051), respectively. No differences were seen in the complication rate. The 1  year liver @entity3 rates were 9.9  % using the conventional system and 9.1  % using the coaxial system (P  =  0.678). The overall median survival time was 44  months. There was no difference in the survival period between two systems (P  =  0.312). CONCLUSIONS: The coaxial technique is useful for catheter placement after pancreatectomy, achieving a high success rate and reducing fluoroscopic and procedure times, while maintaining the safety and efficacy for adjuvant HAIC in @entity788 .
