Cytostatic chemotherapy, immunotherapy and antiretroviral therapy: Percutaneous isolated organ perfusion for chemotherapy: Hepatic: With no external blood filter

Your liver has been specifically treated via an artery with a drug that is intended to damage pathologically altered cells.

Arteries are blood vessels that transport blood away from the heart. They supply all the tissue in the body with oxygen-rich blood.

For the treatment, a thin tube was first inserted into an artery at the groin. This tube was pushed through your artery to your liver. You were then given a drug via the tube in your liver. The intention is for it to damage pathologically altered cells in the liver.

Additional indicator

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Further information

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
