Abstract:
Objective To investigate and analyze the experience of planting and maintaining implantable venous access ports(IVAP) in management of post-operative breast cancer patients. Methods Breast cancer pa-tients receiving IVAP after surgery from Mar. 2011 to Jun. 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The relative com-plications were documented and summarized during implanting operation. Results 468 patients received IVAP, among whom 451 patients underwent piercing implantation via right internal jugular vein, 15 patients underwent piercing implantation via right subclavian vein, and 2 patients underwent piercing implantation via left internal jugular vein. The mean cathe tering leng th was 12.8 cm for patients receiving IVAP via right internal jugular vein, ranging from 12 to 15 cm. Thereinto, 30(6.4%) patients experienced shot-term complications including 16 cases of puncture difficulty, 5 cases of accidental arterial puncture, 2 cases of extravasation, 2 cases of blood aspiration dif-ficulty and 5 cases of arrhythmia. Three cases had long-term complications as the following:one case of catheter-re-lated infection, one case of catheter lost, and one case of incision rupture. Conclusions IVAP is a safe and effec-tive intravenous infusion device. It is crucial to choose individualized implanting access and length by professional surgical team.
