Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the success rate, operation time and complications of ultrasound combined with X-ray-guided precise implantation of totally implantable access port (TIAP) in the chest wall.Methods:A total of 623 patients who underwent implantation of totally implantable venous access ports in the chest wall in Meizhou People's Hospital, China between January 2015 and August 2018 were included in this study. In group A ( n = 320), jugular or subclavian access ports were precisely implanted in the chest wall under the guidance of ultrasound combined with X-ray. During the surgery, color Doppler ultrasound was used to guide the puncture and a C-arm machine was used to locate the position of catheter tip. In group B ( n = 303), venous access ports were implanted using the conventional method. Subclavian vein puncture was performed using anatomic landmarks and the depth of catheterization was estimated by experience. The success rate of the first implantation, operation time, and complications (pneumothorax, hemothorax, catheter displacement, poor position of catheter tip, skin infection, and thrombosis) were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no statistical differences in baseline data between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The success rate of the first implantation in the group A was significantly higher than that in the group B [100% (320/320) vs. 93.06% (282/303), χ2 = 22.95, P < 0.01]. The operation time in the group A was significantly shorter than that in the group B [(26.48 ± 5.49) minutes vs. (35.51 ± 14.37) minutes, t = -10.25, P < 0.01]. In group A, 2 patients developed pneumothorax and healed after conservative treatment, 6 patients had thrombosis, and the incidence of complications was 2.5% (8/320). In group B, complications occurred in 67 patients, including pneumothorax in 9 patients, poor catheter tip position in 17 patients, thrombosis in 36 patients, and skin infection in 1 patient, and the incidence of complications was 22.11% (67/303). There was significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( χ2 = 56.53, P < 0.01). In group B, 6 out of 9 patients developing pneumothorax were healed after closed thoracic drainage, and 4 patients underwent a secondary surgery because of catheter displacement into the internal jugular vein. Conclusion:Precise implantation of venous access ports in the chest wall guided by ultrasound combined with X-ray has the advantages including 100% success rate of first precise implantation, few complications, short operation time, high comfort, safety and efficacy.
