The article reports on the use of a new catheter in intraarterial infusion therapy of head and neck tumours. A balloon catheter is inserted into the external carotid artery so that the catheter tip is positioned at the juncture of the artery which provides the blood supply in the tumourous area. Through temporary blockage of the balloon, selective perfusion of the tumour artery with cytostatic drugs is possible. In 10 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity this catheter was used, and the possibilities of this method of selective perfusion explored in contrast to the conventional procedure practised so far.
本文报道了一种新型导管在头颈部肿瘤动脉内灌注治疗中的应用。将球囊导管插入颈外动脉，使导管尖端位于为肿瘤区域供血的动脉交界处。通过暂时阻断球囊，可以用细胞毒性药物对肿瘤动脉进行选择性灌注。对10例口腔鳞状细胞癌患者使用了这种导管，并与目前采用的传统方法相比，探索了这种选择性灌注方法的可能性。
