[Central venous catheters with subcutaneous ports for long-term chemotherapy in pediatric oncology].
In 29 paediatric oncology patients requiring intravenous chemotherapy, intravenous antibiotics intravenous fluids and blood products transfusions the central venous catheters with subcutaneous ports were inserted. Catheters were left in place for the period lasting from two weeks up to one year in 14 children they still remain in place, 6 catheters were removed due to complications such as occlusion, local necrosis, abscess or bleeding around the place of insertion. The described method, securing long-term venous access, enables safe and painless treatment, which is specially important in paediatric oncology. Moreover, home care can replace hospital treatment and whole procedure is highly cost-effective due to extended time of catheters utilization.
