| Popis: | Recent experience with 108 Broviac catheters was reviewed. Sixty-eight were percutaneously placed in the subclavian veins of adults receiving systemic chemotherapy. For subclavian catheters perioperative and late complications were unusual. There was no pneumothorax or serious bleeding associated with insertion, even in severely thrombocytopenic patients. Mean catheter life was 93 days. Infection occurred in only five cases (7%). We conclude that percutaneous placement of right atrial catheters is a safe procedure which provides reliable access for prolonged chemotherapy in cancer patients. |
