Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump Chemotherapy, or HAI, is an advanced treatment for tumors that have spread to the liver due to metastatic colorectal cancer or metastatic bile duct cancer. HAI is a powerful tool to shrink liver tumors and reduces the risk of tumor recurrence.

3 天之前 · Medical illustration showing placement of hepatic artery infusion pump. "The benefit of HAIP therapy is that it provides a very high dose directly to the liver, allows the chemotherapy to stay there, and can prevent some of the systemic therapy side effects that patients often experience," explains Dr. Poruk.

2022年11月3日 · Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has begun treating liver metastases using hepatic artery infusion pump chemotherapy. This intensified, targeted chemotherapy provides potentially curative options for patients where they did not exist before.

2023年2月6日 · This information describes your Intera 3000 hepatic artery infusion pump (previously called the Codman pump), including how it works, how it’s placed, how it’s refilled, and activity guidelines.

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.

2023年4月13日 · Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy is the physiologic and pharmacologic isolation of the liver. 1,2 Primary and secondary liver tumors derive their blood supply from the hepatic artery, whereas non–tumor-bearing parenchyma receives dual blood supply from the artery and portal vein.

The hepatic artery infusion pump is designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to the liver, enhancing treatment effectiveness for liver tumors. This targeted approach allows for higher concentrations of medication to reach the tumor while minimizing exposure to the rest of the body.

It is implanted in your skin between your ribs and your pelvis and connected by a small catheter into the hepatic artery, which supplies blood to your liver. We usually implant the pump while we’re performing surgery to remove liver tumors.

Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy was developed to treat a metastatic site that is difficult to control.

The Intera 3000 HAI Pump contains a drug reservoir which is attached to a catheter (a long tube) that connects to the hepatic artery – the blood vessel that supplies blood to tumors in the liver. The pump is made of titanium and has smooth contours.
