Background. Totally implantable central venous access devices (ports) have been available for over 10 years but have not achieved widespread use in paediatric oncology patients. We reviewed our experience with these devices over 9 years to assess their safety and acceptability. Procedure. We conduct

Catheter fracture represents a rare problem among non-infectious complications following the insertion of totally implantable long-term central venous access systems for the application of chemotherapeutic agents. A literature survey revealed a total incidence of catheter fractures of 0-2.1 %. Immin
## Abstract ## Background The aim of this study was to analyze the potential utilization of external jugular vein (EJV) cutdown approach for totally implantable venous access device (TIVAD) placement. ## Methods This is a prospective, nonβrandomized, observational, uniβinstitutional study. All p
A totally implantable venous access system is described which greatly improved the ability to gain long-term venous access in selected patients. The external jugular approach has been demonstrated to be a safe and simple technique. The only major problem associated with the implantable venous access
Totally implantable venous device (TIVD) are widely used for the treatment of patients requiring long-term chemotherapy, total parenteral nutrition and fluid replacement. Until today, many kinds of complications have been reported in the literature. We report an unusual case of catheter fracture as
