[Use of implantable chemotherapy reservoirs. Experience at the Hotel-Dieu of France].
We are presenting our experience with 70 deep venous catheters for long term chemotherapy. Despite the well known complications of these procedures, the implantation of subcutaneous injection sites has facilitated the management and brought much more comfort to cancer patients. Strict measures of survey and meticulous nursing care are essential for optimal use of the injection sites.
