However, micro-circulation obstacle in the liver and dynamic abnormality of portal vein flow suggest that liver protecting drugs via peripheral veins can hardly give full requirement for their effect. The authors reviewed a new method of percutaneous transhepatic portal vein implantation of port-catheter system for infusion of drugs in the treatment of liver cirrhosis, with theoretical basis and the outlook of application.
