Abstract
The use of a totally implantable central venous access port provides longterm central venous access and thus simplifies the administration of chemotherapy, parenteral nutrition, and the repeated collection of blood samples. In contrast to the percutaneous central venous catheterization, dilators and peel-away sheaths are used to insert the catheter. In most cases, catheterization is done in the subclavian vein, but it can be done in the internal jugular vein, the external jugular vein, and the common femoral vein. Before the advent of real-time ultrasound guidance, cannulation used to be performed using anatomic landmarks alone. The aim of this section is to review hemothorax complication with regard to etiology, clinical presentation, and prevention during implantation of totally implantable venous access devices.
