Summary

This study tested whether a Medtronic pump and Codman catheter can safely deliver chemotherapy directly to the liver in 35 people with colorectal cancer or bile duct cancer that spread to the liver. The main goal was to check safety, including liver side effects and need for stent replacements. This approach aims to control the disease, not cure it.
