Abstract:Access to the central venous circulation for chemotherapy infusion has traditionally been achieved surgically via the subclavian or jugular routes. With ongoing improvements in technical management, alternative means of central venous access have been developed such as arm-port or forearm-port implantation under imaging guidance. Venous arm port devices implantation was attempted in 200 cancer patients under fluoroscopic guidance, after arm venography. The 4% failure rate was due to the inability to perform the arm venogram, venous spasm or presence of a large contrast medium hematoma (rolling vein). Median follow-up was 180 days (range 4-671) and the complication rate was 13.3% (0.7/1,000 patients-day). Twenty-six complications occurred and were due to venous thrombosis (n = 3), large brachial hematoma (n = 1), local (n = 7) and systemic sepsis (n = 1), skin dehiscence (n = 4), fissuration (n = 4), dislocation (n = 2), obstruction (n = 2), and twist of the port (n = 2), leading to a 8.5% removal rate. Main indications for arm port implantation may be breast cancer, previous arm or cervical venous thrombosis, morbid obesity, respiratory insufficiency, previous surgical failure and the irradiated neck.
