Transcatheter Intra-arterial Limb Infusion of Cisplatin for Extremity Osteosarcoma

Cisplatin was administered intravenously or intraarterially after adequate IV hydration. For IA infusion, cisplatin was given via insertion of a catheter percutaneously by using the Seldinger technique through the brachial or femoral artery under anesthesia and usually at 120 mg/m2 as a 3-h/6-h continuous infusion; while for IV administration, it was given at 100-120 mg/m2 as 6-h infusions.
