Abstract
To facilitate long-term venous access in patients receiving chemotherapy, a subcutaneous totally implantable system (Port-a-Cath, Phamacia) has been used in 14 patients. The method of implantation and the advantages over conventional central venous catheters are discussed. The expense of the system necessitates careful patient selection.Entities:
