This CFD study showed that location of the catheter tip was important in controlling the anticancer agent in conventional IAC, and high wall shear stress at the target artery can occur, depending on vessel geometry of the patient, which may cause serious complications during the treatment.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of Superselective Intra-arterial Chemotherapy for Oral Cancer: Flow Simulation of Anticancer Agent in the Linguofacial Trunk

It is revealed that the behavior of the agent in the common trunk is determined by the blood flow field which depends on the topography of the vessels in each patient, and the catheter tip position should be changed according to the vessel topography to deliver anticancer agents into the tumor-feeding artery.

Diameters of lingual, facial, and maxillary arteries measured according to an objective protocol on 3D computed tomography angiography images

3DCTA vessel measurement taken according to the proposed protocol was considered to be effective and beneficial in determining the need of a new catheter navigation system and diameter of catheters to be used in the clinical practice.
