Preoperative Evaluation
摘要
Insertion of a hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) for primary and secondary malignancies requires careful preoperative evaluation including assessment of hepatic arterial anatomy, patient clinical history, laboratory values, and pertinent imaging studies. A thorough evaluation, with key considerations reviewed herein, will allow for successful intraoperative HAIP placement and reduce postoperative complications, thereby resulting in optimal patient outcomes.
