Use and Complications of Subcutaneously Impfantable Port in Patients with Acute Leukemia and Solid Tumors
Background:Reliable venous access is increasing serious problem in cancer chemotherapy patients especially in patients with leukemia. We evaluated the difference of
complications of subcutaneously implanted port in patients with acute leukemia comparing to the complications in patients with solid tumors.
Methods:Forty eight implantable second generation ports were placed subcutaneously in 17 acute leukemic patients and 30 patients with various soild tumors. The function
time and complications of port were studied.
Results:In acute leukemia patients, ports were in placed for an average of 189 days(range 15-642+6ays) and 221 days(range 10-1,395+4days) in patients with solid tumor(p>0.05).
Complications included infections in 2 cases(11.7%) in acute leukemia and 1 case(3.2%) in solid tumor group, thrombosis in 1 case(3.2%) in only solid tumor group, skin
laceration in 1 case respectivly(5.9%, 3.2%) and pneumothorax in 1 case(3.2%) in solid tumor group(p>0.05). Six ports were removed due to complication except pneumothorax managed conservatively. And blood samplings were all accessible.
Conclusion: The overall rate of catheter associated complications in patients with acute leukemia was not higher than in patients with solid tumors. Since port can be used safely in patients with acute leukemia as well as in patients with solid tumor for long term intravenous chemotherapy.
