In 17 patients receiving regional hepatic chemotherapy, /sup 99m/Tc macroaggregated albumin imaging was used to aid arterial catheter placement and to assess perfusion patterns. Intraoperative imaging with a portable gamma camera allowed immediate monitoring of hepatic and extrahepatic perfusion patterns and assisted catheter manipulation when necessary to achieve optimal flow distribution. In all 12 patients with standard hepatic arterial anatomy, complete perfusion of both lobes of the liver was achieved, although three of them required intraoperative catheter manipulation and repeat imaging after initial placement. The remaining five patients had aberrant hepatic arterial anatomy, and complete perfusion was more difficult to achieve; they exemplified the need for dual catheters, ligation of accessory hepatic branches, and repeated imaging.
