Abstract: Since intra-arterial chemotherapy with the help of implantation of port-catheter system (PCS) was first used in the surgical field in 1981, PCS has been widely employed in the field of interventional radiology. Intra-arterial chemotherapy by implantation of PCS has some certain advantages such as minimal invasion, no need of general anesthesia, etc. Ten randomized clinic trails have been already reported, which indicate that intra- arterial chemotherapy with PCS is obviously superior to systemic chemotherapy in treating hepatic metastasis form colorectal cancer. As for the treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer, pancreatic carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, the relevant reports can be found only in several phaseⅠ/Ⅱclinical trials or in some retrospective cohort studies. This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the indications, clinical applications and complications of PCS in treating abdominal tumors in order to improve the clinical practice.
