Clinical analysis of the complications of interventional chemotherapy for breast cancer by two different ways / 重庆医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the complications of interventional chemotherapy for breast cancer by two different ways to rationally select interventional chemotherapy ways with low risks of complications.Methods:A total of 91 cases of breast cancer were divided into 2 groups,interventional chemotherapy group through ulnar artery(i.e.,ulnar artery group)with 28 cases and interventional chemotherapy group through femoral artery(i.e.,femoral artery group)with 63 cases.Both groups were operated with local anesthesia in DSA room,and the chemotherapeutic drugs were perfused when the catheters were inserted into the proximal side of the cross of infraclavicular artery and internal thoracic artery.The catheters in ulnar artery group were kept for 1 to 2 therapeutic courses,but not in femoral artery group.The complications were observed and analyzed.Results:The occurrence rate of complication in ulnar artery group was 39.29%(11cases),which was significantly higher than that(6.35%,4 cases)of femoral artery group(?2=12.98,P
