ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Implant port catheters have became essential tools in the management of patients receiving intravenous chemotherapy. However; these devices expose to significant complications. We report an experiment aimed at studying the prevalence of complications induced by implant port catheters and the risk factors that result.METHODS:
This is a retrospective study over one year (from January, to December 2019) including 100 patients treated in the carcinology department of our hospital and having presented complications from their port catheters implantable.RESULTS:
During the study period, 100 patients benefited from placement of the implantable chamber catheter. The average age is 53years with extremes of 25years and 72years. Twenty-six percent of patients had at least one complication. Those complications were mechanical in 53.84% of the patients, infectious in 19.23% and thromboembolic in 19.23%.DISCUSSION:
Patients experiencing complication did not differ with respect to age, body mass index, cancer category, medical and surgical history, and insertion side of the implantable chamber catheter.Palabras clave
