The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that impact the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all entities controlled by Delcath. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: ''Times New Roman'', Times, serif; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt;">The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year.  These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 13, 2013.</div></div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the basis of accounting, or basis of presentation, used to prepare the financial statements (for example, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, Other Comprehensive Basis of Accounting, IFRS).No definition available.false0falseBasis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement PresentationUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://delcath.com/role/BasisOfCondensedConsolidatedFinancialStatementPresentation12
