Metastasis over implantable venous access ports

Head & Neck, 2012
BackgroundThe totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) is an important device for patients receiving chemotherapy. We have reported, to our knowledge, the first case of a metastatic tumor over a TIVAP implanted via the Seldinger technique with a subclavian vein puncture.MethodsOur patient, a 48‐year‐old man with hard palate cancer, had metastasis

IMPLANTABLE INJECTION PORT FOR LONG‐TERM VENOUS ACCESS

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1987
In recent times, totally implantable devices using a silastic right atrial catheter connected to a subcutaneous injection chamber have been introduced for long‐term venous access. This study reports the experience of 39 patients in whom 41 such devices have been implanted. It totals 9697 patient days so far. There has been no incidence of major vein or

Outcome of totally implantable venous-access port-related infections

Médecine et Maladies Infectieuses, 2016
We aimed to study factors associated with the outcome of totally implantable venous-access port (TIVAP)-related infections.We conducted a prospective and observational cohort study of patients presenting with a solid tumor and TIVAP-related infection.We monitored 97 patients for 12weeks. The case fatality at 12weeks was high (54%).

Totally implantable venous-access ports: local problems and extravasation injury

The Lancet Oncology, 2002
Totally implantable venous-access ports (TIVAPs) are valuable instruments for long-term intravenous treatment of patients with cancer, but implantation and use of these devices are each associated with complications. In addition to the perioperative problems, long-term complications can arise; these can be classified in five categories-catheter ...

Totally implantable central venous access ports. Analysis of 700 cases

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2011
AbstractBackground and ObjectivesVascular access has great importance in the treatment of patients submitted to prolonged chemotherapy. Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the percutaneous insertion and use of totally implantable central venous access ports (TICVAP).MethodsDuring a 10‐year period, 700 TICVAP were inserted into

Impact of hypnosis on patient experience after venous access port implantation

Anaesthesia Critical Care & Pain Medicine, 2019
Hypnosis has been reported to decrease pain and anxiety in surgical context, but data studying its impact on patient experience using a validated scale are scarce. In the present study, we assessed the effect of an audio hypnosis session on patient satisfaction during venous access port implantation under local anaesthesia in adult cancer patients ...

Catheter Fracture and Embolization from Totally Implanted Venous Access Ports

Angiology, 1998
Totally implanted venous access ports are excellent devices for delivering chemothera peutic agents and prolonged intravenous infusions in patients with cancer. Catheter fracture and embolization are rare and potentially serious complications of these widely used devices.

Clearing obstructed totally implantable central venous access ports

Supportive Care in Cancer, 2012
Totally implantable central venous access ports (IVAPs) are frequently used in oncology to assure chemotherapy delivery and other tasks. Obstruction of IVAPs is rare, but when it does occur it may result in treatment delays and/or invasive surgery for the patient. An IVAP unblocking protocol was implemented by the nursing staff of our department.

Incidence and risk factor for infection of totally implantable venous access port

Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 2021
Totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) have been widely used in cancer patients for many years. The early infection (within 30 days after TIVAP implantation) rate of TIVAP accounts for about one-third of all TIVAP infections, and early infection often causes port removal and affects subsequent cancer treatment.

Does the Implantation Technique for Totally Implantable Venous Access Ports (TIVAPs) Influence Long‐Term Outcome?

World Journal of Surgery, 2015
AbstractBackgroundTotally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) are eventually explanted for various reasons, related or unrelated to the implantation technique used. Having more information on long‐term explantation would help improve placement techniques.MethodsFrom a series of 1572 cancer patients who had TIVAPs implanted in our center with the ...
