Surgical experiences with 191 implanted venous Port-a-Cath systems. Abstract Text:

U Laffer,M Dürig,H R Bloch,J Landmann,

The introduction of totally implantable catheter device has provided a simple, permanent and safe access to the vascular system. They have greatly improved the quality of life of the patients involved, whose activities, daily hygiene and bodily attractiveness remain practically unrestricted. To gain the greatest freedom from complications in the use of fully implantable catheter devices, the following requirements are important in to our experience: 1. Experience with only one kind of catheter system, irrespective of whether it is claimed to be the best, the simplest, or the cheapest. Various companies offer a variety of totally implantable catheter devices. Every system has its advantages and its disadvantages. However, each system also requires a considerable degree of surgical experience and experience in postoperative care and management to keep the complication rate as low as possible. Frequent changing to other systems does not enlarge the experience obtained. 2. The experience of the surgical team. In Basel catheter systems are implanted by three surgeons only. We are convinced that this contributes to our relatively low rate of complications. Brothers et al. (1988) also show that the rate of complications is inversely related to the experience of the surgeon involved. 3. The experience, commitment and training of the nursing staff responsible for the care and maintenance of the implanted catheter device. This care and maintenance of the implanted catheter device should start immediately after the surgical procedure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
