You will arrive to the interventional radiology department prior to the procedure.
The procedure usually takes about 90 minutes (most patients go home the same day).
You’ll receive light sedation to help you relax and stay comfortable.
The doctor makes a tiny incision (a few mms), typically in your leg, and gently guides the RenovoCath catheter through an artery to the area near the tumor.
Once the doctor finds the tumor, two small balloons are inflated to keep the chemotherapy drug in the treatment area.
The drug is then infused between the balloons, creating pressure to push the drug near the tumor.
After the procedure, you may feel mild discomfort at the incision site, but most patients return to normal activities in less than a few days.
