Computed Tomography (CT) Venography Using a Multidetector CT Prior to the Percutaneous External Jugular Vein Approach for an Implantable Venous-Access Port

Background and Purpose The objective of this study was to determine the success rate and complications of using the percutaneous approach of the external jugular vein (EJV) for placement of a totally implantable venous-access port (TIVAP) with a preoperative estimate of the detailed anatomical orientation of the cervical venous plexus using computed tomography venography (CT-V).
