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

How to Care for Implanted Ports

Implantable ports are used for intravenous infusion therapy and play an important role in management of oncology patients. These ports are best suited for patients requiring long-term therapy (>4 weeks). Implanted ports provide reliable venous access protect peripheral access increase patients’ comfort through reducing repeated and difficult vein punctures allow for safe and comfortable admi...

Implantable intravenous access device.

The use of a fully implantable device for venous access is described in two infants with transfusion dependent haemolytic anaemia. This device is a possible improvement in the treatment of infants needing long term venous access, although doctors should be aware of the infrequent complications.

Effectiveness of Permanent Implantable Catheter (Polysite) in Children with Cancer

Abstract Background Totally implantable central venous access devices (ports) have been available for over 10 years, but have not been achieved widespread use in pediatric oncology patients. Ports facilitate the administration of chemotherapy in children with cancer. Materials and Methods In this study, early complications of implantable central venous access devices in children with diff...

Flushing ports of totally implantable venous access devices, and impact of the Huber point needle bevel orientation: experimental tests and numerical computation

The use of totally implantable venous access devices developed as a medical device allowing mid- and long-term, frequent, repeated, or continuous injection of therapeutic products, by vascular, cavitary, or perineural access. The effective flushing of these devices is a central element to assure long-lasting use. Our experimental work demonstrates that directing the Huber point needle opening i...
