Intra-arterial locoregional therapies for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024; 18:505-519. [PMID: 39246149 DOI: 10.1080/17474124.2024.2402358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 09/02/2024] [Accepted: 09/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the 2nd most common primary liver malignancy. For nonsurgical candidates, the primary treatment option is systemic chemotherapy, which can be combined with locoregional therapies to enhance local control. Common intra-arterial locoregional therapies include transarterial hepatic embolization, conventional transarterial chemoembolization, drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization, transarterial radioembolization with Yttrium-90 microspheres, and hepatic artery infusion. This article aims to review the latest literature on intra-arterial locoregional therapies for treating ICC. AREAS COVERED A literature search was conducted on PubMed using keywords: intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, intra-arterial locoregional therapy, embolization, chemoembolization, radioembolization, hepatic artery infusion, and immunotherapy. Articles from 2008 to 2024 were reviewed. Survival data from retrospective and prospective studies, meta-analyses, and clinical trials were evaluated. EXPERT OPINION Although no level I evidence supports the superiority of any specific intra-arterial therapy, there has been a shift toward favoring radioembolization. In our expert opinion, radioembolization may offer superior outcomes when performed by skilled operators with meticulous planning and personalized dosimetry, particularly for radiation segmentectomy or treating lobar/bilobar disease in appropriate candidates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) treatment is a technique used to treat liver localized malignancy with intra-arterial chemotherapy. Methylene blue is generally administered to verify hepatic perfusion and exclude inadvertent extrahepatic perfusion. The use of indocyanine green dye (ICG) combined with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging during robot-assisted HAIP placement may be an attractive alternative by providing high contrast without blue discoloration of the operative field. METHODS Data was collected retrospectively from 2 centers in the Netherlands. Intraoperative perfusion of the liver segments and extrahepatic perfusion were assessed using ICG/NIR as well as methylene blue on video imaging and correlated to postoperative 99 m-Tc perfusion scintigraphy. RESULTS 13 patients underwent robot-assisted surgery for HAIP placement; median length of stay was 4 days, complications occurred in 4 patients. Hepatic perfusion showed identical patterns when ICG was compared with methylene blue. In 1 patient, additional extrahepatic perfusion was found using ICG, leading to further vessel ligation. Intraoperative ICG perfusion was concordant with 99 m-Tc perfusion scintigraphy. DISCUSSION Liver and extrahepatic perfusion determined by ICG fluorescence imaging is concordant with blue dye perfusion and 99 m-Tc perfusion scintigraphy. Therefore, ICG fluorescence imaging is deemed a safe and reliable technique for perfusion testing during robot-assisted HAIP placement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study investigates the incidence of extrahepatic perfusion and incomplete hepatic perfusion at intraoperative methylene blue testing and on postoperative nuclear imaging in patients undergoing hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy. METHODS The first 150 consecutive patients who underwent pump implantation in the Netherlands were included. All patients underwent surgical pump implantation with the catheter in the gastroduodenal artery. All patients underwent intraoperative methylene blue testing and postoperative nuclear imaging (99mTc-Macroaggregated albumin SPECT/CT) to determine perfusion via the pump. RESULTS Patients were included between January-2018 and December-2021 across eight centers. During methylene blue testing, 29.3% had extrahepatic perfusion, all successfully managed intraoperatively. On nuclear imaging, no clinically relevant extrahepatic perfusion was detected (0%, 95%CI: 0.0-2.5%). During methylene blue testing, 2.0% had unresolved incomplete hepatic perfusion. On postoperative nuclear imaging, 8.1% had incomplete hepatic perfusion, leading to embolization in only 1.3%. CONCLUSION Methylene blue testing during pump placement for intra-arterial chemotherapy identified extrahepatic perfusion in 29.3% of patients, but could be resolved intraoperatively in all patients. Postoperative nuclear imaging found no clinically relevant extrahepatic perfusion and led to embolization in only 1.3% of patients. The role of routine nuclear imaging after HAIP implantation should be studied in a larger cohort.

Robotic Versus Open Hepatic Arterial Infusion Pump Placement for Unresectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma. Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:4022-4029. [PMID: 38498089 PMCID: PMC11076355 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-024-15127-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy is an effective treatment for patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). HAIP chemotherapy requires a catheter inserted in the gastroduodenal artery and a subcutaneous pump. The catheter can be placed using an open or robotic approach. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes of robotic versus open HAIP placement in patients with unresectable iCCA. METHODS We analyzed patients with unresectable iCCA included in the PUMP-II trial from January 2020 to September 2022 undergoing robotic or open HAIP placement at Amsterdam UMC, Erasmus MC, and UMC Utrecht. The primary outcome was time to functional recovery (TTFR). RESULTS In total, 22 robotic and 28 open HAIP placements were performed. The median TTFR was 2 days after robotic placement versus 5 days after open HAIP placement (p < 0.001). One patient (4.5%) in the robotic group underwent a conversion to open because of a large bulky tumor leaning on the hilum immobilizing the liver. Postoperative complications were similar-36% (8/22) after robotic placement versus 39% (11/28) after open placement (p = 1.000). The median length of hospital stay was shorter in the robotic group-3 versus 5 days (p < 0.001). All 22 robotic patients initiated HAIP chemotherapy post-surgery, i.e. 93% (26/28) in the open group (p = 0.497). The median time to start HAIP chemotherapy was 14 versus 18 days (p = 0.153). CONCLUSION Robotic HAIP placement in patients with unresectable iCCA is a safe and effective procedure and is associated with a significantly shorter TTFR and hospital stay than open HAIP placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic artery infusion (HAI) is less frequently used in the adjuvant setting for resectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) due to concerns regarding toxicity. Our objective was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of establishing an adjuvant HAI program. METHODS Patients who underwent HAI pump placement between January 2019 and February 2023 for CRLM were identified. Complications and HAI delivery were compared between patients who received HAI in the unresectable and adjuvant settings. RESULTS Of 51 patients, 23 received HAI for unresectable CRLM and 28 in the adjuvant setting. Patients with unresectable CRLM more commonly had bilobar disease (n = 23/23 vs n = 18/28, p < 0.01) and more preoperative liver metastases (median 10 [IQR 6-15] vs 4 [IQR 3-7], p < 0.01). Biliary sclerosis was the most common complication (n = 2/23 vs n = 4/28); however, there were no differences in postoperative or HAI-specific complications. In the most recent two years, 0 patients in the unresectable group vs 2 patients in the adjuvant group developed biliary sclerosis. All patients were initiated on HAI with no difference in treatment times or dose reductions. CONCLUSION Adjuvant HAI is safe and feasible for patients with resectable CRLM. HAI programs can carefully consider including patients with resectable CRLM if managed by an experienced multidisciplinary team with quality assurance controls in place.

Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:1252-1263. [PMID: 38006531 PMCID: PMC11466354 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-023-14519-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Discontinuation of the Codman 3000 pump in 2018 left no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved hepatic artery infusion (HAI) device for unresectable colorectal liver metastases (uCLM) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (uIHC). Historically, HAI has been performed at academic medical centers in large metropolitan areas, which are often inaccessible to rural patients. Consequently, feasibility of dissemination of HAI to rural populations is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS Under an FDA investigational device exemption, we opened the only HAI program in Kentucky and enrolled patients with uCLM and uIHC in a phase I clinical trial. The trial examined the safety of the hybrid Codman catheter/Medtronic SynchroMed II pump (hCMP) combination, defined as successful completion of one cycle of HAI chemotherapy. Rural feasibility was assessed by number of missed pump fills appointments. RESULTS A total of 21 patients (n = 17 uCLM, n = 4 uIHC) underwent hCMP implantation before accrual was stopped early owing to FDA approval of the Intera 3000 pump. 20/21 (95%) patients met the primary safety endpoint. Serious adverse events (AEs) included a grade 5 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection (n = 1) and a grade 3 catheter erosion into the bowel (n = 1). Biliary sclerosis developed in two patients (9.5%). Median distance to infusion center was 47.6 miles (2-138 miles), and 62% were from Appalachia, yet there were no missed pump fill appointments. The 2-year overall survival was 82.4% (uCLM) and 50% (uIHC). CONCLUSIONS The hCMP device had an acceptable safety profile. Despite the complexity of starting a new HAI program, early results showed feasibility for HAI delivery in a rural catchment area and comparable outcomes to larger urban-based HAI centers.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women (Siegel et al. in CA Cancer J Clin 72(1):7-33). Over one-half of newly diagnosed individuals will develop liver metastases. Among those with liver-only metastatic disease, only about one in five will be candidates for potentially curable resection.

Abstract
Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) pumps are used to deliver liver-directed therapy by allowing the administration of selective chemotherapy to the liver via a catheter implanted most commonly into the gastroduodenal artery connected to a subcutaneous pump. This selective administration helps maximize the chemotherapeutic effect within the hepatic tumors while minimizing systemic toxicity. While HAI therapy has primarily been used to treat liver-only metastatic colorectal cancer, the indications have expanded to other malignancies, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Radiologists play an important role in pre-operative planning, assessment of treatment response, and evaluation for potential complications using various imaging studies, including computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and perfusion scintigraphy. This article describes the radiologist's role as part of a multi-disciplinary oncology team to help maximize the success of HAI therapy and also helps radiologists familiarize themselves with various aspects of HAI pumps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A post-hoc analysis of ABC trials included 34 patients with liver-confined unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) who received systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin (gem-cis). The median overall survival (OS) was 16.7 months and the 3-year OS was 2.8%. The aim of this study was to compare patients treated with systemic gem-cis versus hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy for liver-confined unresectable iCCA. METHODS We retrospectively collected consecutive patients with liver-confined unresectable iCCA who received gem-cis in two centers in the Netherlands to compare with consecutive patients who received HAIP chemotherapy with or without systemic chemotherapy in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. RESULTS In total, 268 patients with liver-confined unresectable iCCA were included; 76 received gem-cis and 192 received HAIP chemotherapy. In the gem-cis group 42 patients (55.3%) had multifocal disease compared with 141 patients (73.4%) in the HAIP group (p = 0.023). Median OS for gem-cis was 11.8 months versus 27.7 months for HAIP chemotherapy (p < 0.001). OS at 3 years was 3.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.0-13.6%) in the gem-cis group versus 34.3% (95% CI 28.1-41.8%) in the HAIP chemotherapy group. After adjusting for male gender, performance status, baseline hepatobiliary disease, and multifocal disease, the hazard ratio (HR) for HAIP chemotherapy was 0.27 (95% CI 0.19-0.39). CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed the results from the ABC trials that survival beyond 3 years is rare for patients with liver-confined unresectable iCCA treated with palliative gem-cis alone. With HAIP chemotherapy, one in three patients was alive at 3 years.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chemotherapy-naive patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) have been the best responders to hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) therapy. The current treatment paradigm has drifted away from HAI in the first-line setting. We aimed to analyze outcomes of combined first-line systemic therapy with HAI therapy (HAI+SYS) in the modern era. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of consecutive chemotherapy-naive patients with unresectable CRLM who received HAI+SYS between 2003 and 2019. Patients were selected from a prospectively maintained database. Outcomes included radiological response rate, conversion to resection (CTR) rate, and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Fifty-eight chemotherapy-naive patients were identified out of 546 patients with unresectable CRLM managed with HAI. After induction treatment, 4 patients (7%) had a complete radiological response, including two durable responses. In total, 32 patients (55%) underwent CTR. CTR or complete response without resection was achieved after seven cycles of systemic therapy and four cycles of HAI therapy. Median OS for the whole cohort was 53.0 months (95% confidence interval 23.0-82.9). Three- and 5-year OS in patients who achieved CTR or complete response versus patients who did not was 88% and 72% versus 27% and 0% respectively. Of patients who underwent CTR, complete and major pathological response (no and <10% viable tumor cells, respectively) was observed in 7 (22%) and 12 patients (38%). CONCLUSIONS Combined HAI+SYS in chemotherapy-naive patients resulted in durable and substantial response in a large proportion of patients. Nearly two-thirds of patients achieved a complete response or proceeded to conversion surgery, which was associated with prolonged survival.

Abstract
Dedicated catheters for hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy were removed from the market. The purpose of this study was to assess the results of a novel approach to overcome the shortage of dedicated catheters for hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastases. We retrospectively included patients who underwent a percutaneous placement of a hepatic intra-arterial port catheter in a single tertiary center from February 2021 to June 2022. We examined the patient baseline characteristics, technical features of the modified procedures, technical success rates, complications and oncological outcomes. Fourteen patients (median age: 60 years; q1 = 54; q3 = 70; range: 53-81 years) underwent 15 modified procedures. The main modification of our placement technique consisted of the use of an indwelling 5-Fr Vertebral catheter, on the tip of which we created a two-sided additional lateral hole. The catheter was connected to a pediatric port. The primary success rate was 100%, and the secondary success rate was 93.3%. There were two late major complications, graded IIIa according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. The median liver progression free survival was 6.1 months (q1 = 2.5; q3 = 7.2; range: 1.3-11.6). Our experience suggests that the derived utilization of the devices used routinely in interventional radiology provides an effective solution that can compensate for the shortage of dedicated devices.

Abstract
Despite a steady decline in incidence and mortality rates, colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second most common cancer diagnosis in women and the third most common in men worldwide. Notably, the liver is recognized as the most common site of CRC metastasis, and metastases to the liver remain the primary driver of disease-specific mortality for patients with CRC. Although hepatic resection is the backbone of curative-intent treatment, management of CRLM has become increasingly multimodal during the last decade and includes the use of downstaging chemotherapy, ablation techniques, and locoregional therapy, each of which are reviewed herein.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety, primary patency, and clinical outcomes of hepatic artery stent graft (SG) placement for vascular injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients treated with hepatic arterial SG placement for vascular injuries between September 2018 and September 2021 were reviewed. Data on demographic characteristics, indication, stent graft characteristics, antiplatelet/anticoagulant use, clinical success rate, complications, and type of follow-up imaging were collected. Follow-up images were reviewed by 2 independent reviewers to assess primary patency. A time-to-event analysis was performed. The median duration of stent graft patency was estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate factors related to stent graft patency. RESULTS Thirty-five patients were treated with hepatic arterial SG placement, 11 for postoperative bleeds and 24 for hepatic artery infusion pump catheter-related complications. Clinical success was achieved in 32 (91%) patients (95% CI, 77-98). The median primary patency was 87 days (95% CI, 73-293). Stent grafts of ≥6-mm diameter retained patency for a longer duration than that with stent grafts of smaller diameters (6 mm vs 5 mm; hazard ratio, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.14-0.88; P = .026; and 7+ mm vs 5 mm; hazard ratio, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.09-0.83; P = .023). Anticoagulation/antiplatelet regimen was not associated with increased stent graft patency duration (P > .05). Only minor complications were reported in 2 (5.7%) patients. CONCLUSIONS Stent grafts can be used safely and effectively to treat injuries of the hepatic artery. Stent graft diameters of ≥6 mm seem to provide more durable patency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Widespread implementation of HAI pump chemotherapy has been limited by logistic and feasibility concerns. Recent studies demonstrating excellent outcomes have fueled renewed enthusiasm and multiple new programs have emerged. This survey aims to identify barriers critical to establish a successful HAI program. METHODS Using SurveyMonkey™, a 17-question survey assessing factors required for establishing a successful program was developed by 12 HAI Consortium Research Network (HCRN) surgical oncologists. Content analysis was used to code textual responses. Frequency of categories and average rank scores for each choice were calculated. RESULTS Twenty-eight HCRN members responded to the survey. Implementation time varied, with 15 institutions requiring less than a year. Most programs (n = 17) became active in the past 5 years. Medical and surgical oncology were ranked most important for building a program (average ranking scores: 7.96 and 6.59/8). Administrative or regulatory approval was required at half of the institutions. The top 3 challenges faced when building a program were related to regulatory approval (6.65/9), device/equipment access (6.33/9), and drug (FUDR) access (6.25/9). CONCLUSION Development of successful programs outside of historically established centers is feasible and requires a multidisciplinary team. Future collaborative efforts are critical for sustainability of safe/effective new programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic artery infusion (HAI) is a liver-directed therapy that delivers high-dose chemotherapy to the liver through the hepatic arterial system for colorectal liver metastases and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Utilization of HAI is rapidly expanding worldwide. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS This review describes the conduct of HAI pump implantation, with focus on common technical pitfalls and their associated solutions. Perioperative identification and management of common postoperative complications is also described. RESULTS HAI therapy is most commonly performed with the surgical implantation of a subcutaneous pump, and placement of its catheter into the hepatic arterial system for inline flow of pump chemotherapy directly to the liver. Intraoperative challenges and abnormal hepatic perfusion can arise due to aberrant anatomy, vascular disease, technical or patient factors. However, solutions to prevent or overcome technical pitfalls are present for the majority of cases. Postoperative HAI-specific complications arise in 22% to 28% of patients in the form of pump pocket (8%-18%), catheter (10%-26%), vascular (5%-10%), or biliary (2%-8%) complications. The majority of patients can be rescued from these complications with early identification and aggressive intervention to continue to deliver safe and effective HAI therapy. CONCLUSIONS This HAI toolkit provides the HAI team a reference to manage commonly encountered HAI-specific perioperative obstacles and complications. Overcoming these challenges is critical to ensure safe and effective pump implantation and delivery of HAI therapy, and key to successful implementation of new programs and expansion of HAI to patients who may benefit from such a highly specialized treatment strategy.

Comparison of Hepatic Arterial Infusion Pump Chemotherapy vs Resection for Patients With Multifocal Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma. JAMA Surg 2022; 157:590-596. [PMID: 35544131 PMCID: PMC9096688 DOI: 10.1001/jamasurg.2022.1298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Importance Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is often multifocal (ie, satellites or intrahepatic metastases) at presentation. Objective To compare the overall survival (OS) of patients with multifocal iCCA after hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) floxuridine chemotherapy vs resection. Design, Setting, and Participants In this cohort study, patients with histologically confirmed, multifocal iCCA were eligible. The HAIP group consisted of consecutive patients from a single center who underwent HAIP floxuridine chemotherapy for unresectable multifocal iCCA between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2018. The resection group consisted of consecutive patients from 12 centers who underwent a curative-intent resection for multifocal iCCA between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 2017. Resectable metastatic disease to regional lymph nodes and previous systemic therapy were permitted. Patients with distant metastatic disease (ie, stage IV), those who underwent resection before starting HAIP floxuridine chemotherapy, and those who received a liver transplant were excluded. Data were analyzed on September 1, 2021. Main Outcomes and Measures Overall survival in the 2 treatment groups was compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Results A total of 319 patients with multifocal iCCA were included: 141 in the HAIP group (median [IQR] age, 62 [53-70] years; 79 [56.0%] women) and 178 in the resection group (median [IQR] age, 60 [50-69] years; 91 [51.1%] men). The HAIP group was characterized by a higher percentage of bilobar disease (88.0% [n = 124] vs 34.3% [n = 61]), larger tumors (median, 8.4 cm vs 7.0 cm), and a higher proportion of patients with 4 or more lesions (66.7% [94] vs 24.2% [43]). Postoperative mortality after 30 days was 0.8% (95% CI, 0.0%-2.1%) in the HAIP group vs 6.2% (95% CI, 2.3%-9.7%) in the resection group (P = .01). The median OS for HAIP was 20.3 months vs 18.9 months for resection (P = .32). Five-year OS in patients with 2 or 3 lesions was 23.7% (95% CI, 12.3%-45.7%) in the HAIP group vs 25.7% (95% CI, 17.9%-37.0%) in the resection group. Five-year OS in patients with 4 or more lesions was 5.0% (95% CI, 1.7%-14.3%) in the HAIP group vs 6.8% (95% CI, 1.8%-25.3%) in the resection group. After adjustment for tumor diameter, number of tumors, and lymph node metastases, the hazard ratio of HAIP vs resection was 0.75 (95% CI, 0.55-1.03; P = .07). Conclusions and Relevance This cohort study found that patients with multifocal iCCA had similar OS after HAIP floxuridine chemotherapy vs resection. Resection of multifocal intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma needs to be considered carefully given the complication rate of major liver resection; HAIP floxuridine chemotherapy may be an effective alternative option.

Abstract
Peristaltic pumps have been put to use in various biomedical applications like devices for the transfer of body fluids as well as devices for controlled release of medication, including implantable infusion pumps. Out of the various components of a peristaltic pump, tubing is considered the most vulnerable part. This study focuses on the performance of Silicone micro-pump tubing used in such an implantable drug delivery device. Long-term implantable medical devices are expected to be operational for about 10 years. But experimental testing of the reliability of components under normal working speeds are time-consuming and thus delays the product development cycle. While simulating the conditions in the laboratory under accelerated speeds, the effect of increasing the speed must be accounted. In this study, the effect of accelerated speed and rotor material on pump tubing life is investigated. A test jig is developed which simulates the running conditions of the infusion pump for long-duration operation. Different rotor speeds and material configurations are investigated to obtain their effect on long-duration performance. Thermal effects on the roller junctions are studied and found that the Delrin silicone combination has twice the rise in junction temperature than the titanium silicone combination. The failure modes are inspected using microstructure analysis and the best configuration is identified.

Abstract
For patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (uCRLM), regional therapies leverage the unique, dual blood supply to the liver; the hepatic artery is the main blood supply for liver tumors, whereas the portal vein supplies most normal hepatic parenchyma. Infusion of cancer therapies via the hepatic artery allows selective delivery to the tumors with relative sparing of normal liver tissue and little extrahepatic exposure, thus limiting systemic side effects. There is a paucity of randomized controlled trial evidence to inform the optimal integration of regional therapies into the management of CRLM. Hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy has a potential survival benefit when used in the adjuvant setting after resection of CRLM. HAIP chemotherapy can be safely given with contemporary systemic therapies and is associated with a high objective response and rate of conversion to resectability in patients with uCRLM. Drug-eluting beads coated with irinotecan transarterial chemoembolization is associated with high objective response rates within the liver and has a well-established safety profile in patients with uCRLM. Transarterial radioembolization achieves high rates of response within the liver but is not associated with improvements in overall survival or quality of life in the first- or second-line setting for uCRLM. The best treatment approach is the one that most aligns with a given patients' values, preferences, and philosophy of care. In the first-line setting, HAIP could be offered to motivated patients who hope to achieve conversion to resectability. After progression on chemotherapy, HAIP, transarterial chemoembolization, and transarterial radioembolization are valuable treatment options to consider for patients with liver-limited or liver-predominant CRLM who seek to optimize response rates and regional control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with colorectal cancer. Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy has been demonstrated to improve survival in patients with resected CRLM and to facilitate conversion of technically unresectable disease. METHODS Between 2016 and 2018, n = 22 HAI pumps were placed for CRLM. All patients received systemic chemotherapy concurrently with HAI floxuridine/dexamethasone. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS HAI pumps were placed in seven patients with completely resected CRLM and 15 patients with unresectable disease. Twenty-one patients received HAI floxuridine with a median of 5 total HAI cycles (interquartile range: 4-7). Biliary sclerosis was the most common HAI-related complication (n = 5, 24%). Of the 13 patients treated to convert unresectable CRLM, 3 (23%) underwent hepatic resection with curative intent after a median of 7 HAI cycles (range: 4-10). For all HAI patients, the mean OS was 26.7 months from CRLM diagnosis, while the median PFS and hepatic PFS from pump placement were 9 and 13 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Concomitant HAI and systemic therapy can be utilized at multidisciplinary programs for patients with advanced CRLM, both in the adjuvant setting and to facilitate conversion of unresectable disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are the most common cause of disease-specific mortality in patients with colorectal cancer. Hepatic artery infusion (HAI) combined with systemic chemotherapy improves survival for these patients. The safety of colorectal resection at the time of HAI pump placement has not been well established. METHODS Patients with CRLM who underwent combined HAI pump placement and colorectal (primary) resection or HAI pump placement alone were evaluated for perioperative outcomes, pump-specific complications, infectious complications, and time to treatment initiation. These outcomes were compared using comparative statistics. RESULTS Patients who underwent combined HAI pump placement and primary resection (n = 19) vs HAI pump placement alone (n = 13) had similar demographics and rates of combined hepatectomy. Combined HAI pump placement and primary resection group had similar operative time and blood loss (both p = NS), but longer length of stay (6 vs 4 days, p = 0.02) compared to pump placement alone. Overall postoperative complications (21% vs 8%) and pump-specific complications (16% vs 31%) were similar (both p = NS). Infection rates were not different between groups, nor was time to initiation of HAI therapy (19 vs 16 days p = NS), or systemic therapy (34 vs 35 days p = NS). CONCLUSION Combining colorectal resection with HAI pump implantation is a safe surgical approach for management of unresectable CRLM. Postoperative complications, specifically infectious complications, were not increased, nor was there a delay to initiation of HAI or systemic chemotherapy. Investigation of long-term oncologic outcomes for HAI pump placement and primary tumor resection in patients with unresectable CRLM is ongoing.

Abstract
Background Patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) have poor survival. This systematic review describes the survival outcomes of hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy with floxuridine for patients with unresectable iCCA. Patients and Methods A literature search was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed, Medline (Ovid), Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Cochrane to find studies that reported data on the survival of patients with unresectable iCCA treated with HAIP chemotherapy using floxuridine. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa quality assessment Scale (NOS). Overall survival (OS) was the primary outcome measure, and progression-free survival (PFS), response rates, resection rates, and toxicity were defined as secondary outcome measures. Results After removing duplicates, 661 publications were assessed, of which nine studies, representing a total of 478 patients, met the inclusion criteria. Three out of nine studies were phase II clinical trials, one study was a prospective dose-escalation study, and the remaining five studies were retrospective cohort studies. After accounting for overlapping cohorts, 154 unique patients were included for pooled analysis. The weighted median OS of patients with unresectable iCCA treated with HAIP chemotherapy with floxuridine was 29.0 months (range 25.0–39 months). The pooled 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year OS were 86.4, 55.5, 39.5, and 9.7%, respectively. Conclusion HAIP chemotherapy with floxuridine for patients with unresectable iCCA was associated with a 3-year OS of 39.5%, which is favorable compared with systemic chemotherapy for which no 3-year survivors were reported in the Advanced Biliary Cancer (ABC) trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy is associated with improved survival in stage IV colon cancer with liver metastases. Whether simultaneous colon resection and HAI pump (HAIP) placement is associated with increased morbidity has not been specifically studied. The purpose of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes of simultaneous colon resection and HAIP placement versus HAIP placement alone. METHODS This was a retrospective study of consecutive patients with colon cancer and synchronous liver metastases who underwent HAIP placement between 2007 and 2018. Clinicopathologic characteristics, operative data, complications, and time to first cycle of HAIP chemotherapy were compared between patients who underwent colon resection simultaneously with HAIP placement and those who underwent HAIP placement alone. RESULTS A total of 258 patients underwent simultaneous colectomy and HAIP placement, and 116 patients underwent HAIP placement alone. Grade 1-2 complications were more common in patients who underwent simultaneous colectomy and HAIP placement (36.8% vs. 19.0%, P < 0.001), but grade 3-4 complications were not observed more frequently (14.3% vs. 12.9%, P = 0.872). The median interval between HAIP placement and start of HAIP chemotherapy did not differ between groups (simultaneous colectomy, 27 days [interquartile range (IQR) 17-34]; HAIP placement alone, 30 days [IQR 21-34]; P = 0.924). Infection of the pump causing either delay of initiation of chemotherapy or explantation of the pump occurred in five patients with simultaneous colectomy and in one patient with HAIP placement alone (P = 0.671). CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous HAIP implantation and colectomy is safe in patients with liver metastases of colon carcinoma.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common primitive liver cancer. Despite recent advances in the surgical management, the prognosis remains poor, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. Intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) has a median survival between 18 and 30 months, but if deemed unresectable it decreases to 6 months. Most patients have a liver-confined disease that is considered unresectable because of its localization, with infiltration of vascular structures or multifocality. The peculiar dual blood supply allows the delivery of high doses of chemotherapy via a surgically implanted subcutaneous pump, through the predominant arterial tumor vascularization, achieving much higher and more selective tumor drug levels than systemic administration. The results of the latest studies suggest that adequate and early treatment with the combination approach of hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) and systemic (SYS) chemotherapy is associated with improved progression-free and overall survival than SYS or HAI alone for the treatment of unresectable iCCA. Current recommendations are limited by a lack of prospective trials. Individualization of chemotherapy and regimens based on selective targets in mutant iCCA are a focus for future research. In this paper we present a comprehensive review of the studies published to date and ongoing trials.

Abstract
Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) entails the surgical implantation of a subcutaneous pump to deliver chemotherapeutic agents directly to the liver in the setting of primary or secondary liver cancer. The purpose of HAI chemotherapy is to maximize hepatic drug concentrations while minimizing systemic toxicity, facilitating more effective treatment. HAI is used in combination with systemic chemotherapy and can be considered in several clinical scenarios, including adjuvant therapy, conversion of unresectable disease to resectable disease, and unresectable disease. Radiologists are key members of the multidisciplinary team involved in the selection and management of these patients with complex liver disease. As these devices begin to be used at more sites across the country, radiologists should become familiar with the guiding principles behind pump placement, expected imaging appearances of these devices, and potential associated complications. The authors provide an overview of HAI therapy, with a focus on the key imaging findings associated with this treatment that radiologists may encounter. ©RSNA, 2021.

Abstract
Simple Summary Colorectal cancer liver metastasis occurs in more than 50% of patients with colorectal cancer and is thought to be the most common cause of death from this cancer. The mainstay of treatment for inoperable liver metastasis has been combination systemic chemotherapy with or without the addition of biological targeted therapy with a goal for disease downstaging, for potential curative resection, or more frequently, for disease control. For patients with dominant liver metastatic disease or limited extrahepatic disease, liver-directed intra-arterial therapies including hepatic arterial chemotherapy infusion, chemoembolization and radioembolization are alternative treatment strategies that have shown promising results, most commonly in the salvage setting in patients with chemo-refractory disease. In recent years, their role in the first-line setting in conjunction with concurrent systemic chemotherapy has also been explored. This review aims to provide an update on the current evidence regarding liver-directed intra-arterial treatment strategies and to discuss potential trends for the future. Abstract The liver is frequently the most common site of metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer, occurring in more than 50% of patients. While surgical resection remains the only potential curative option, it is only eligible in 15–20% of patients at presentation. In the past two decades, major advances in modern chemotherapy and personalized biological agents have improved overall survival in patients with unresectable liver metastasis. For patients with dominant liver metastatic disease or limited extrahepatic disease, liver-directed intra-arterial therapies such as hepatic arterial chemotherapy infusion, chemoembolization and radioembolization are treatment strategies which are increasingly being considered to improve local tumor response and to reduce systemic side effects. Currently, these therapies are mostly used in the salvage setting in patients with chemo-refractory disease. However, their use in the first-line setting in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy as well as to a lesser degree, in a neoadjuvant setting, for downstaging to resection have also been investigated. Furthermore, some clinicians have considered these therapies as a temporizing tool for local disease control in patients undergoing a chemotherapy ‘holiday’ or acting as a bridge in patients between different lines of systemic treatment. This review aims to provide an update on the current evidence regarding liver-directed intra-arterial treatment strategies and to discuss potential trends for the future.

Combined Systemic and Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump Chemo-Therapy as a Liver-Directed Therapy for Colorectal Liver Metastasis-Review of Literature and Case Discussion. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13061283. [PMID: 33805846 PMCID: PMC7998495 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13061283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Liver metastasis is a major therapeutic challenge and common cause of death for patients with colorectal cancer. While systemic treatment especially chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment, selected patients with liver-only metastasis may further benefit from liver-directed therapies. Direct infusion of chemotherapy into the liver metastases via an implantable hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) is potentially an effective way to improve treatment response and survival in selected patients. Here, we reviewed the literature utilizing HAIP as a liver-directed modality alone and in combination with systemic chemotherapy. We discussed two cases who were successfully treated with this combinatorial approach and achieved remission or prolongation of disease control. We discussed the limitations, toxicities of combined systemic and HAIP modalities. Lastly, we provided insights on the use of HAIP in the modern era of systemic treatment for colorectal cancer patients with liver metastasis. Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent malignancy and the second most common cause of death in the US. Liver is the most common site of colorectal metastases. About 13% of patients with colorectal cancer have liver metastasis on initial presentation and 50% develop them during the disease course. Although systemic chemotherapy and immunotherapy are the mainstay treatment for patients with metastatic disease, for selected patients with predominant liver metastasis, liver-directed approaches may provide prolonged disease control when combined with systemic treatments. Hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy is an approach which allows direct infusion of chemotherapeutic into the liver and is especially useful in the setting of multifocal liver metastases. When combined with systemic chemotherapy, HAIP improves the response rate, provides more durable disease control, and in some patients leads to successful resection. To ensure safety, use of HAIP requires multidisciplinary collaboration between interventional radiologists, medical oncologists, hepatobiliary surgeons and treatment nurses. Here, we review the benefits and potential risks with this approach and provide our single institution experience on two CRC patients successfully treated with HAIP in combination with systemic chemotherapy. We provide our recommendations in adopting this technique in the current era for patient with colorectal liver metastases.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential benefits of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in the management of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, were comprehensively searched from inception to November 2020. Prospective randomized trials with HAIC vs. systemic chemotherapy (SC) were selected. The overall survival (OS), tumor response rates (RRs), progression-free survival (PFS), and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were assessed in the meta-analysis. Subsequently, the heterogeneity between studies, sensitivity, publication bias, and meta-regression analyses were performed. Finally, 18 studies, which contained 1,766 participants (922 in the HAIC group and 844 in the SC group) were included. There was a significantly higher OS rate in the HAIC as palliative treatment group (HR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.08–0.26; P = 0.000) and HAIC as adjuvant treatment group compared with SC group (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.38–0.87; P = 0.000). The complete and partial tumor RRs were also increased significantly in the HAIC as palliative treatment group (RR = 2.09; 95% CI, 1.36–3.22; P = 0.001) and as adjuvant treatment group compared with SC group (RR = 2.14; 95% CI, 1.40–3.26; P = 0.000). However, PFS did not differ significantly between the HAIC and SC groups (P > 0.05). Meta-regression analysis showed potential covariates did not influence on the association between HAIC and OS outcomes (P > 0.05). The results of the present study suggested that HAIC may be a potential therapeutic regimen that may improve the outcomes of patients with CRLM. The present meta-analysis has been registered in PROSPERO (no. CRD 42019145719).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Variant hepatic arterial anatomy (vHAA) is thought to occur in 20-30% of patients. Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) pump placement for liver cancers requires thorough hepatic artery dissection; we sought to compare vHAA identified during pump placement with established dogma. METHODS Between 2016 and 2020, n = 30 patients received a HAI pump. Intra-operatively identified vHAA was characterized and compared with published data. RESULTS vHAA was identified in 60% (n = 18) of patients, significantly higher than 19% (3671 of 19013) in the largest published series (P < 0.001). The most common variations were accessory left (n = 12; 40%) and replaced right (n = 6; 20%) hepatic arteries; six (20%) had ≥2 variants. Pre-operative imaging correctly identified 67% of variant hepatic arteries. DISCUSSION Meticulous operative dissection of the hepatic arterial tree reveals vHAA not captured by imaging or cadaveric dissection. vHAA likely has a higher prevalence than previously reported and should be addressed to optimize therapeutic efficacy of HAI pump therapy.

Abstract
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of percutaneously implanted arterial port catheter systems for hepatic arterial infusion of chemotherapy (HAI) in patients with unresectable liver malignancies. From October 2010 to August 2018, arterial port catheters for HAI were percutaneously implanted in 43 patients with unresectable liver malignancies. Three different catheter placement techniques were compared: a conventional end-hole catheter placed in the common hepatic artery (technique 1, n = 16), a side-hole catheter with the tip fixed in the gastroduodenal artery (technique 2, n = 18), and a long-tapered side-hole catheter with the tip inserted distally in a segmental hepatic artery (technique 3, n = 6). Catheter implantation was successful in 40 (93%) of the 43 patients. Complications related to catheter placement were observed in 10 (23%) patients; 5 (83%) of the 6 major complications were resolved, as well as all 4 minor complications. Catheter migration and occlusion occurred in 9 (22.5%) patients. Catheter migration was more frequent with technique 1 (n = 6) than with technique 2 (n = 1), although the difference was not significant (p = 0.066). Percutaneous arterial port catheter implantation for HAI is highly feasible and carries a low risk of complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy is a specialized therapy for patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (uCRLM). Its effectiveness was demonstrated from a high volume center, with uncertainty regarding the feasibility and safety at other centers. Therefore, we sought to assess the safety and feasibility of HAIP for the management of uCRLM at other centers. METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients with uCRLM treated with HAIP from January 2003 to December 2017 at six North American centers initiating the HAIP program. Outcomes included the safety and feasibility of HAIP chemotherapy. RESULTS We identified 154 patients with HAIP insertion and the median age of 54 (48-61) years. The burden of disease was >10 intra-hepatic metastatic foci in 59 (38.3%) patients. Patients received at least one cycle of systemic chemotherapy before HAIP insertion. Major complications occurred in 7 (4.6%) patients during their hospitalization and 13 (8.4%) patients developed biliary sclerosis during follow-up. A total of 148 patients (96.1%) received at least one-dose of HAIP chemotherapy with a median of 5 (4-7) cycles. 78 patients (56.5%) had a complete or partial response and 12 (7.8%) received a curative liver resection. CONCLUSION HAIP programs can be safely and effectively initiated in previously inexperienced centers with good response.

Abstract
Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of chemotherapy is a locoregional treatment strategy for hepatic malignancy involving placement of a surgically implanted pump or percutaneous port-catheter device into a branch of the hepatic artery. HAI has been used for metastatic colorectal cancer for decades but has recently attracted new attention because of its potential impact on survival, when combined with systemic therapy, in patients presenting with unresectable hepatic disease. Although various HAI device-related complications have been described, little attention has been given to their appearance on imaging. Radiologists are uniquely positioned to identify these complications given that patients receiving HAI therapy typically undergo frequent imaging and may have complications that are delayed or clinically unsuspected. Therefore, this article reviews the multimodality imaging considerations of surgically implanted HAI devices. The role of imaging in routine perioperative assessment, including the normal postoperative appearance of the device, is described. The imaging findings of potential complications, including pump pocket complications, catheter or arterial complications, and toxic or ischemic complications, are presented, with a focus on CT. Familiarity with the device and its complications will aid radiologists in playing an important role in the treatment of patients undergoing HAI therapy.

Abstract
We present an 84-year-old man with erosion of the chemotherapy port on his chest wall. He had a history of colorectal cancer with liver metastases more than 20 years ago, when he underwent right hemicolectomy and liver resection. A hepatic artery infusion catheter was placed for targeted administration of chemotherapy for the liver metastases. Imaging showed the catheter had migrated into the small bowel lumen. We considered the best approach for removing the migrated catheter - either remove the catheter and accept the likelihood of a low-volume enterocutaneous fistula that may self-resolve, or explore the enterocutaneous tract with a view to small bowel resection. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages here.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective was to investigate the impact of adjuvant hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy on the rates and patterns of recurrence and survival in patients with resected colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). METHODS Recurrence rates, patterns, and survival were compared between patients treated with and without adjuvant HAIP using competing risk analyses. RESULTS 2128 patients were included, of which 601 patients (28.2%) received adjuvant HAIP and systemic chemotherapy (HAIP + SYS). The overall recurrence rate was similar with HAIP + SYS or SYS (63.5% versus 64.2%,p = 0.74). The 5-year cumulative incidence of initial intrahepatic recurrences was lower with HAIP + SYS (22.9% versus 38.4%,p < 0.001). The 5-year cumulative incidence of initial extrahepatic recurrences was higher with HAIP + SYS (48.5% versus 40.3%,p = 0.005), because patients remained at risk for extrahepatic recurrence in the absence of intrahepatic recurrence, which was largely attributable to more pulmonary recurrences with HAIP + SYS (33.6% versus 23.7%,p < 0.001). HAIP was an independent prognostic factor for DFS (adjusted HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.60-0.79, p < 0.001), and OS (adjusted HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.57-0.78,p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Adjuvant HAIP chemotherapy is associated with lower intrahepatic recurrence rates and better DFS and OS after resection of CRLM.

[PMID: 32740732 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-020-08938-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy is an advanced cancer therapy for primary and secondary hepatic malignancies. The risk of concurrent hepatic and/or colorectal operations with HAIP placement is unknown. Our objective was to characterize the short-term outcomes of concurrent surgery with HAIP placement. METHODS The 2005-2017 ACS NSQIP dataset was queried for patients undergoing hepatic and colorectal operations with or without HAIP placement. Outcomes were compared for HAIP placement with different combined procedures. Patients who underwent procedures without HAIP placement were propensity score matched with those with HAIP placement. The primary outcome was 30-day death or serious morbidity (DSM). Secondary outcomes included infectious complications, wound complications, length of stay (LOS), and operative time. RESULTS Of 467 patients who underwent HAIP placement, 83.9% had concurrent surgery. The rate of DSM was 10.7% for HAIP placement alone, 19.2% with concurrent minor hepatic procedures, 22.1% with concurrent colorectal resection, 23.2% with concurrent minor hepatic plus colorectal procedures, 28.4% with concurrent major hepatic resection, and 41.7% with concurrent major hepatic plus colorectal resection. On matched analyses, there was no difference in DSM, infectious, or wound complications for procedures with HAIP placement compared with the additional procedure alone, but operative time (294.7 vs 239.8 min, difference 54.9, 95% CI 42.8-67.0) and LOS (6 vs 5, IRR 1.20, 95% CI 1.08-1.33) were increased. CONCLUSIONS HAIP placement is not associated with additional morbidity when performed with hepatic and/or colorectal surgery. Decisions regarding HAIP placement should consider the risks of concurrent operations, and patient- and disease-specific factors.

Abstract
Importance Although liver metastasis develops in more than half of patients with colorectal cancer, only 15% to 20% of these patients have resectable liver metastasis at presentation. Moreover, patients with initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (IU-CRLM) who progress on first-line systemic chemotherapy have limited treatment options. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), in combination with systemic chemotherapy, leverages a multimodality approach to achieving control of hepatic disease and/or expanding resectability in patients with liver-only disease or liver-dominant disease. Observations Intra-arterial delivery of agents with high first-pass hepatic extraction (eg, floxuridine) limits systemic toxic effects and allows for administration of systemic chemotherapy at near-full doses. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy augments response rates up to 92% in patients who are chemotherapy naive, and up to 85% in pretreated patients with IU-CRLM. In turn, these responses translate into encouraging rates of conversion to resectability (CTR). Prospective trials have reported CTR rates as high as 52% in heavily pretreated patients with IU-CRLM who have an extensive hepatic disease burden. As such, CTR remains a compelling indication for liver-directed chemotherapy in this subset of patients. This review discusses the biological rationale for HAIC, evolution of rational combinations with systemic chemotherapy, contemporary evidence for CTR using HAIC and systemic chemotherapy, juxtaposition with rates of CTR using systemic chemotherapy alone, and morbidity and toxic effect profiles of HAIC. Conclusions and Relevance The argument is made for consideration of earlier initiation of HAIC in patients with IU-CRLM who are chemotherapy naive and for adoption of HAIC strategies to augment rates of resectability in patients who have failed first-line systemic chemotherapy before proceeding to second-line or third-line regimens.

Abstract
The preferential blood supply from the hepatic artery to liver tumors allows for the regional delivery of chemotherapy, commonly referred to as hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy via a subcutaneous pump. Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy has been demonstrated to improve overall survival in select patients with colorectal liver metastasis and is a promising treatment for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. This review focuses on the technical aspects of hepatic artery infusion pump placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Woodchucks (Marmota monax) are a well-accepted animal model for the investigation of spontaneous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As HCC tumors obtain nutrient blood supply exclusively from the hepatic artery, hepatic artery infusion (HAI) has been applied to HCC. However, there is a scarcity of experimental animal models to standardize drug regimens and examine novel agents. The purpose of this study was to establish an HAI model in woodchucks. MATERIALS AND METHODS HAI ports were placed in the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) of 11 woodchucks. The ports were infused with either a vehicle (dextrose 5% in water) or an experimental drug, CBL0137, once a week for 3 wk. Technical success rates, anatomical variation, morbidity and mortality, and tumor responses between groups were analyzed. RESULTS The GDA access was feasible and reproducible in all woodchucks (11/11). The average operation time was 95 ± 20 min with no increase in the levels of liver enzymes detected from either infusate. The most common morbidity of CBL0137 therapy was anorexia after surgery. One woodchuck died due to hemorrhage at the gallbladder removal site from hepatic coagulopathy. Significantly higher CBL0137 concentrations were measured in the liver compared with blood after each HAI. Tumor growth was suppressed after multiple CBL0137 HAI treatments which corresponded to greater T cell infiltration and increased tumor cell apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS HAI via GDA was a feasible and reproducible approach with low morbidity and mortality in woodchucks. The described techniques serve as a reliable platform for the identification and characterization of therapeutics for HCC.

Abstract
The most commonly used preclinical models of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are limited for use in testing of intra-arterial therapies such as transarterial chemoembolization and radioembolization. Issues encountered with the more commonly used animal models include dissimilarity in their disease development compared with humans and the size of the vasculature which can make intra-arterial therapy testing difficult or impossible. Here we describe the suitability of the woodchuck HCC model for testing of intra-arterial therapies. We describe the techniques for pre-embolization imaging assessment using CT and MRI, technical tips on performing angiography and embolization, and pathological assessment of treated liver.

Abstract
Background The 10-year overall survival with adjuvant hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) was 61% in clinical trials from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. A pilot study was performed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of adjuvant HAIP chemotherapy in patients with resectable CRLMs. Study Design A phase II study was performed in two centers in The Netherlands. Patients with resectable CRLM without extrahepatic disease were eligible. All patients underwent complete resection and/or ablation of CRLMs and pump implantation. Safety was determined by the 90-day HAIP-related postoperative complications from the day of pump placement (Clavien–Dindo classification, grade III or higher) and feasibility by the successful administration of the first cycle of HAIP chemotherapy. Results A total of 20 patients, with a median age of 57 years (interquartile range [IQR] 51–64) were included. Grade III or higher HAIP-related postoperative complications were found in two patients (10%), both of whom had a reoperation (without laparotomy) to replace a pump with a slow flow rate or to reposition a flipped pump. No arterial bleeding, arterial dissection, arterial thrombosis, extrahepatic perfusion, pump pocket hematoma, or pump pocket infections were found within 90 days after surgery. After a median of 43 days (IQR 29–52) following surgery, all patients received the first dose of HAIP chemotherapy, which was completed uneventfully in all patients. Conclusion Pump implantation is safe, and administration of HAIP chemotherapy is feasible, in patients with resectable CRLMs, after training of a dedicated multidisciplinary team.

Abstract
Background Recurrences are reported in 70% of all patients after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), in which half are confined to the liver. Adjuvant hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy aims to reduce the risk of intrahepatic recurrence. A large retrospective propensity score analysis demonstrated that HAIP chemotherapy is particularly effective in patients with low-risk oncological features. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) --the PUMP trial-- is to investigate the efficacy of adjuvant HAIP chemotherapy in low-risk patients with resectable CRLM. Methods This is an open label multicenter RCT. A total of 230 patients with resectable CRLM without extrahepatic disease will be included. Only patients with a clinical risk score (CRS) of 0 to 2 are eligible, meaning: patients are allowed to have no more than two out of five poor prognostic factors (disease-free interval less than 12 months, node-positive colorectal cancer, more than 1 CRLM, largest CRLM more than 5 cm in diameter, serum Carcinoembryonic Antigen above 200 μg/L). Patients randomized to arm A undergo complete resection of CRLM without any adjuvant treatment, which is the standard of care in the Netherlands. Patients in arm B receive an implantable pump at the time of CRLM resection and start adjuvant HAIP chemotherapy 4–12 weeks after surgery, with 6 cycles of floxuridine scheduled. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints include overall survival, hepatic PFS, safety, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness. Pharmacokinetics of intra-arterial administration of floxuridine will be investigated as well as predictive biomarkers for the efficacy of HAIP chemotherapy. In a side study, the accuracy of CT angiography will be compared to radionuclide scintigraphy to detect extrahepatic perfusion. We hypothesize that adjuvant HAIP chemotherapy leads to improved survival, improved quality of life, and a reduction of costs, compared to resection alone. Discussion If this PUMP trial demonstrates that adjuvant HAIP chemotherapy improves survival in low-risk patients, this treatment approach may be implemented in the standard of care of patients with resected CRLM since adjuvant systemic chemotherapy alone has not improved survival. Trial registration The PUMP trial is registered in the Netherlands Trial Register (NTR), number: 7493. Date of registration September 23, 2018.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigates whether quantitative image analysis of pretreatment CT scans can predict volumetric response to chemotherapy for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). METHODS Patients treated with chemotherapy for CRLM (hepatic artery infusion (HAI) combined with systemic or systemic alone) were included in the study. Patients were imaged at baseline and approximately 8 weeks after treatment. Response was measured as the percentage change in tumour volume from baseline. Quantitative imaging features were derived from the index hepatic tumour on pretreatment CT, and features statistically significant on univariate analysis were included in a linear regression model to predict volumetric response. The regression model was constructed from 70% of data, while 30% were reserved for testing. Test data were input into the trained model. Model performance was evaluated with mean absolute prediction error (MAPE) and R2. Clinicopatholologic factors were assessed for correlation with response. RESULTS 157 patients were included, split into training (n = 110) and validation (n = 47) sets. MAPE from the multivariate linear regression model was 16.5% (R2 = 0.774) and 21.5% in the training and validation sets, respectively. Stratified by HAI utilisation, MAPE in the validation set was 19.6% for HAI and 25.1% for systemic chemotherapy alone. Clinical factors associated with differences in median tumour response were treatment strategy, systemic chemotherapy regimen, age and KRAS mutation status (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Quantitative imaging features extracted from pretreatment CT are promising predictors of volumetric response to chemotherapy in patients with CRLM. Pretreatment predictors of response have the potential to better select patients for specific therapies. KEY POINTS • Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are downsized with chemotherapy but predicting the patients that will respond to chemotherapy is currently not possible. • Heterogeneity and enhancement patterns of CRLM can be measured with quantitative imaging. • Prediction model constructed that predicts volumetric response with 20% error suggesting that quantitative imaging holds promise to better select patients for specific treatments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To study the anatomical features and classification of the angle between the right gastroepiploic vein (RGEV) and superior mesenteric vein/portal vein (SMV/PV) and to guide the catheterization of intraportal infusion chemotherapy through RGEV and reduce surgical complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography study was undertaken on 200 consecutive subjects with or without hepatic malignant tumors with a dedicated workstation 3D-MIA (the improved MI-3DVS workstation) developed by ourselves to determine the prevalence of surgically significant angle between RGEV and SMV/PV anatomic variations and its classification. RESULTS The mean value of the angles between the end of RGEV and SMV/PV (AERS/P) (200 cases) was 84.2° ± 23.8 (31.4°-151.5°): 40.6° ± 92.3 (-177.9° to 178.0°) (sagittal angle), 81.7° ± 29.8 (-79.3° to 160.7°) (coronal angle), and 10.5° ± 94.3 (-178.7° to 175.8°) (horizontal angle). The mean value of the angles between the right bend of RGEV and SMV/PV (ARRS/P) (168 cases) was 104.8° ± 26.1 (20.5°-159.7°):49.3° ± 117.8 (-175.3° to 179.5°) (sagittal angle), 103.5° ± 37.7 (-178.8° to 168.9°) (coronal angle), and 12.6° ± 102.8 (-179.9° to 179.2°) (horizontal angle). The AERS/P were classified into large angle group (32 cases, 16%), middle angle group (113 cases, 56.5%), and small angle group (55 cases, 27.5%) based on angle variations and risks of catheterization. CONCLUSIONS Precognition of the variations of AERS/P and ARRS/P before surgery is useful during chemotherapy pump catheterizing through RGEV in reduction of surgical complications by modulating the angle and direction of RGEV running into SMV/PV properly.
