Popis:	We analyse all incident reports to the French Health Ministry over the 1996-1998 period, concerning implantable catheter ports. They represent 7% of all reports in the field of anaesthesia and intensive care. Two hundred eleven reports have been analysed. There were 93 catheter ruptures with 77 intravascular migrations. In more than 50% of cases, a pinch-off syndrome mechanism was responsible of these ruptures and a displacement of the O'ring was involved in 25%. Additional minor complications were reported and discussed in regard to literature. We conclude that implantable catheter ports may lead to serious incidents which are preventable in most cases.
