[Percutaneous and implantable catheters in cancers of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts. Apropos of 600 cases].
For two years, 600 catheters (234 silicone catheters, 153 tunnelisation cuffed catheters and 188 total implantable systems) were place for chemotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer. Percutaneous catheters remain for 152 days and total implantable systems for 188 days. Total complications decrease with greater experience of physicians and using improved catheters.
