Table 1 Classification of vertical position of catheter tip
From: Computational fluid dynamics study of intra-arterial chemotherapy for oral cancer
Class | Position of catheter tip |
|---|---|
1 | Intermediate position between the carotid bifurcation and LA origin (bifurcation between the ECA and LA) |
2 | LA origin (bifurcation between the ECA and LA) |
3 | Intermediate position between the LA origin and FA origin (bifurcation between the ECA and FA) |
4 | Catheter insertion into the LA (superselective intra-arterial catheterization) |
