Ultrasound-Guided Vein Puncture Versus Surgical Cut-Down Technique in Totally Implantable Venous Access Devices (Tivads):

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

Usefulness of Percutaneous Puncture in Insertion of Totally Implantable Venous Access Devices in Pediatric Patients

PURPOSE Totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) are commonly used in pediatrics for the administration of chemotherapy, antibiotics, or parenteral nutrition. TIVADs can be implanted using various techniques, including surgical cutdown (SC) and percutaneous puncture (PP). Recently, percutaneous TIVAD became popular in adults, but studies comparing between PP and SC group in pediatric ...

Insertion of Totally Implantable Central Venous Access Devices by Surgeons

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate the results for the insertion of totally implantable central venous access devices (TICVADs) by surgeons. METHODS Total 397 patients, in whom TICVADs had been inserted for intravenous chemotherapy between September 2008 and June 2014, were pooled. This procedure was performed under local anesthesia in an operation room. The insertion site for the T...

Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation for central venous access.

BACKGROUND Infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation is not commonly used for central venous access because identifying the surface landmarks is difficult. Ultrasound guided axillary vein puncture has not been well described. We assessed ultrasound imaging to guide catheterization of the infraclavicular axillary vein. METHODS In 200 consecutive patients we attempted to catheterize the axillar...
