Résumé
We report on a 69-year-old man with locally-advanced left maxillary sinus cancer who underwent treatment with intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy. Angiography showed that the main feeding arteries were the left maxillary artery and the ophthalmic artery, arising from the internal carotid artery. Due to acute branching of the ophthalmic artery, conventional microcatheters could not be inserted. Using a steerable microcatheter, we were able to repeatedly administer chemoradiotherapy
