In order to achieve perfusion of both lobes of the liver for hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, several surgical techniques can be used when the right hepatic artery arises from the superior mesenteric artery. Three of these techniques (utilization of cystic artery, end‐to‐side anastomosis between the right hepatic artery and proper hepatic artery, and insertion of a fine‐tipped special catheter in the right hepatic artery) often require microsurgery applications. © 1998 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
