Hepatic arterial infusion proper and common hepatic arteries, and threaded through the gastroduodenal (mostly), or celiac artery. The catheter is fixed in this position and the pump is placed in a subcutaneous pocket. Finally, to confirm adequate placement and hepatic perfusion, and to rule out extrahepatic perfusion, a dye (fluorescein or methylene blue) is injected into the pump. After the procedure and before starting the HAI based treatment, a technetium 99m-labeled macroaggregated albumin scan is performed to again confirm adequate hepatic perfusion and no misperfusion outside of the liver. The complications of HAI therapy can be divided into those related to the surgical
