intraarteriálisan

Intraarteriálisan is a Latin term meaning "within an artery." In medicine, it refers to the administration of a substance or the performance of a procedure directly into an artery. This route of administration is typically reserved for specific medical interventions where direct delivery to the arterial circulation is advantageous.

One common application of intraarterial administration is in chemotherapy. Delivering chemotherapy drugs directly into the artery supplying a tumor can achieve higher drug concentrations at the tumor site while minimizing systemic toxicity. This approach is often used for localized cancers, such as those of the liver or head and neck.

Intraarterial administration is also utilized in interventional radiology. Procedures like angioplasty, stent placement, or embolization are performed by navigating catheters through arteries to the target site. Contrast agents are also often injected intraarterially to visualize blood vessels during imaging procedures like angiography.

Furthermore, certain diagnostic tests may involve intraarterial sampling of blood or other substances for analysis. The specific artery used for intraarterial administration or intervention depends on the location of the target organ or lesion. This method requires careful technique and monitoring due to the potential risks associated with arterial access and manipulation.
