The ocular complications of intracarotid infusion of drugs for brain-tumor chemotherapy may be eliminated by infusion of the chemotherapeutic agent into the carotid artery above the origin of the ophthalmic artery. The authors have developed a catheter that can negotiate the carotid siphon. This catheter is not balloon-tipped but incorporates a flexible tip with an expanded end to facilitate drag by flowing blood. The exit hole is placed to allow remote manipulation of the tip by hydraulic forces. Using this catheter, the authors have been consistently able to infuse the supraophthalmic carotid artery.
通过将化疗药物注入眼动脉起源上方的颈动脉，可消除经颈动脉灌注药物治疗脑肿瘤时的眼部并发症。作者研制了一种能够通过颈动脉虹吸段的导管。该导管不是球囊尖端，而是带有一个末端扩张的柔性尖端，以便于血流拖动。出口孔的位置便于通过液压对尖端进行远程操作。使用这种导管，作者始终能够成功地向眼动脉上方的颈动脉进行灌注。
