isolation-perfusion technique

isolation-perfusion technique
a technique for administering high doses of a chemotherapy agent to a region while protecting the patient from toxicity: the blood flow of the region is isolated, as by application of a tourniquet to an extremity, and the region is perfused by means of a pump-oxygenator; the drug is added to the perfusate, which may be heated by a heat exchanger to provide hyperthermia.
