Functional evaluation of conventional ‘Celsite®’ venous ports versus ‘Vortex®’ ports with a tangential outlet: a prospective randomised pilot study
2008
Goal of work
Totally implantable venous access ports are widely accepted in cancer patient treatment, but withdrawal occlusion (WO) can hamper the use of the device. A newly designed Vortex® VX port, with a tangential outlet, should allow better clearance of the chamber, thereby reducing occlusion of the device. The present study compared the Vortex® port to the classically shaped Celsite® port with regards to functional complications.
