Abstract
Background
Totally implantable access ports (TIAP) with cutdown method has few complications, but needs assessment of fluoroscopic system.
Methods
We present a method to confirm the position of TIAP catheter without fluoroscopic assessment. We use the cutdown method and trigger arrhythmia while introducing the TIAP catheter.
Results
This method was applied in 54 patients and no complications were found.
Conclusions
Checking the position by triggering arrhythmia while performing TIAP with cephalic vein cutdown in case of C‐arm was not available is simple and safe. J. Surg. Oncol. 2007;96:436–437. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
