METHODS: Thirty-three patients with HCC were synthetically treated by systematic measures. Among them, percutaneous port-catheter system (PCS) implantation via the femoral artery was performed in 21 cases. Patients with haemorrhage were treated with prothrombin complex concentrate and fibroraas, and patients with hepatic encephalopathy by branched-chain amino acids and arginine. RESULTS: All indwelling catheters of PCS were patent and no catheter tip dislocations were observed. Of 33 patients with advanced HCC, the mean survival rate was 20.1 months and 12 (36%) patients survived more than 2 years. CONCLUSION: Patients with advanced HCC were treated by synthetic measures. Survival was prolonged, quality of life was improved significantly, and the effectiveness of interventional therapy was further improved.展开更多
