Abstract
We reviewed the records of 66 consecutive patients who underwent placement of totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs). Fourteen patients (21%) experienced complications related to the TIVAD. Complications included hematoma, infection, pneumothorax, subclavian vein thrombosis, and chronic clavicular pain. The 1 month mortality rate following insertion of a TIVAD was 24% (16 of 66 patients); however, none of the patients died as a direct consequence of port insertion or its associated complications. Overall patient and physician acceptance of TIVADs was good, and we encourage continued use and study of this device.
