Isolated limb reperfusion in patients with locoregional recurrence after previous isolated limb perfusion achieves local tumor control in a high percentage of cases. One of the main aims of the repeat procedure is limb salvage, which was possible in 96% of our patients. Complication rate of reperfusion is acceptably low.
