Imaging guided implantation of subcutaneus venous ports: A single center experience
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 53, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the results of ultrasound and floroscopy guided subcutaneous venous implantations. Materials and Methods: Between June 2012 and May 2013, 40 patients (17 female, 23 male; mean age: 57,63 ± 12.28) who underwent subcutaneous venous port implantations were evaluated retrospectively. The demographic features, primary diagnosis, indications of implantation, technique of the implantation process, mean duration of port usage, the complications during the implantation process and during the port usage, the number of cases in which the port was removed, and the causes of the port removal were investigated. Results: Right internal jugular venous access was used in 37 patients, while left internal jugular venous access was used in 3 patients. There were no early period complications such as hematoma, pneumothorax, hemothorax, and arterial puncture. The tip of the port was placed in the junction of the right atrium and superior cava vein or in the proximal right atrium in all patients. The duration of the port usage was 3-327 days (mean: 141.5 ± 97.32 days). Conclusion: The ultrasound and floroscopy guided implantation of the venous ports can be safely performed with the knowledge of the probable complications, and when taking some preventions at radiology departments.
