ABSTRACT
The authors present a technique of longterm lingual artery catheterization for intraarterial regional chemotherapy. The transtemporal approach enables safe introduction through the external carotid artery. Catheterization technique is presented in 16 patients with the diagnosis of carcinoma baseos oris and carcinoma linguae. Both the lingual arteries were infused in four patients with tumors spreading over the midline. The dislocation of the catheter was found seven times of twenty catheterizations. The following catheter repozition was always successful.
