Applying Totally Implantable Venous Access Devices (TIVAD) in Children: the First Iranian Experience

Complications of Central Venous Access Devices: A Systematic Review.

CONTEXT The failure and complications of central venous access devices (CVADs) result in interrupted medical treatment, morbidity, and mortality for the patient. The resulting insertion of a new CVAD further contributes to risk and consumes extra resources. OBJECTIVE To systematically review existing evidence of the incidence of CVAD failure and complications across CVAD types within pediatri...

Implant of subcutaneous central venous access devices in outpatient surgery

Today, an increasing number of subcutaneous central venous access devices are implanted on a ambulatory basis either by percutaneous vein puncture or venous cut down. The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate which is the most suitable implant technique for ambulatory surgery by comparing subclavian vein puncture using a Seldinger technique with cephalic vein cut-down in terms ...

Plastic migration from implanted central venous access devices.

BACKGROUND This is the first reported study of histologically confirmed migration from intravenous access devices in children. METHODS The capsules from around intravenous access devices were examined by light microscopy to determine the extent of the foreign body response; energy dispersive x ray analysis was performed to document the elemental content of the foreign material. RESULTS A fi...
